Airfield and operations
The airport has one runway, 10/28, measuring 9,449 feet and surfaced in asphalt, with lighting for operations after dark and in lower-visibility conditions. For passengers, that long runway supports the kind of aircraft typically used on regional and international leisure routes, which is especially useful for an island destination. Its very low elevation, just 20 feet above sea level, also reflects the flat coastal setting travelers can expect on arrival.
