The layout is straightforward and intuitive, with all essential passenger areas—including check-in counters, baggage claim, and the main waiting hall—situated within a compact and well-organized space. The infrastructure includes a primary asphalt runway (16/34) that measures 2,400 meters in length and is equipped with lighting systems to support night operations. This integrated design is particularly beneficial for travelers who prefer a streamlined airport experience with minimal ground delays between the terminal entrance and the aircraft.

Its exceptional proximity to General Pico ensures that a wider range of accommodation and dining options are just a short drive away from the field.
