Terminals and runway snapshot

The airport has three runways, which is notable for such a compact island gateway. Runway 08/26 is the longest at 2,877 feet and has an asphalt surface with lighting, while Runway 13/31 is 2,405 feet, gravel, and also lighted. Runway 03/21 is shorter at 1,631 feet and gravel. For passengers, these details mainly matter because runway length, surface, and lighting all influence how aircraft operate here, especially in changing island weather, so flight schedules can be more sensitive to local conditions than at larger mainland airports.
