The airport plays a crucial role in supporting the region's economy, serving as the main entry point for business travelers visiting the Paraguaná Free Trade Zone and tourists headed to the world-renowned kitesurfing beaches of Adícora.

Inside, the terminal provides essential amenities such as small cafes and snack bars, souvenir stalls offering local crafts, and duty-free shops that reflect the peninsula's status as a tax-free commercial zone. While the facilities are modest, they offer a functional and welcoming environment for passengers arriving from major domestic carriers like Conviasa and Avior Airlines.
