Serving as a vital air link for the North Bengal region, the airport provides essential transportation for local residents, government services, and growing regional tourism.

Inside, travelers will find a unified departures and arrivals hall, which includes basic check-in counters and a sheltered waiting area with seating. Amenities at the airport are focused on the essentials, such as clean restroom facilities and general information signage. Due to its regional focus and smaller scale, there are no extensive retail shops or diverse dining options available on-site, so visitors are encouraged to make any necessary food or supply purchases in the city of Cooch Behar before their flight. Operational capacity at Cooch Behar Airport is supported by a single paved runway (04/22) measuring approximately 1,070 meters in length, which is designed to support light and medium-sized general aviation aircraft and small regional turboprops like the Dornier 228. Navigation through the terminal is exceptionally easy due to its compact and logical layout. For ground transportation, the airport is located just a few kilometers from the city center, with official taxi services, auto-rickshaws, and private vehicle transfers readily available to transport visitors to their final destination or to explore the city's historic royal palace and temples.
