Located near Biniguni village in the Ijivitari district, the airport has a single grassed runway designated 05/23 and measuring about 585 metres. Its compact size makes it suitable for short takeoff and landing aircraft rather than large commercial jets.

Facilities at the airstrip are basic, and passengers should plan ahead for food, water and communications. For most travelers, the airstrip functions as a practical access point to Biniguni and the surrounding villages rather than a full-service passenger airport.
