Facilities
Around 850 meters of existing grass airstrip was extended with hard pavement for the development of the airport. The airport will have a total area of 115 hectares. The runway extends 1,600 x 30 metres, aided by an apron of 69 x 103 metres, and a taxiway 15 metres in width, which was finished in early 2021. The airport can accommodate a twin-propeller aircraft such as ATR 72-600 models. Since the planned permanent structure of the terminal building is still under construction, a 20 x 20 metre, high-grade pole tent was built to serve as temporary terminal, complete with air conditioning and plumbing.
