The Aerdrome grew because of the gliding activity of the Centre de Vol a Vela La Cerdanya, which later became a section of the Aero Club Barcelona-Sabadell.
Integrated into the Catalan Government's new airports plan, the airfield management, which belongs to Aeroports de Catalunya and the Cerdanya County Council, was put up for public tender in 2008, which was won by Gestió Aeronàutica Ceretana, S.L. consortium, composed by Aero Club Barcelona-Sabadell, CAT Helicòpters, Masella, and La Molina.
