Located about 4 km southeast of the Colonel Hill settlement, the airport has a compact single terminal and one paved runway used by regional turboprop and light aircraft. The facilities are basic but functional and are designed around the island's modest passenger traffic.
The airport is an important lifeline for residents and visitors traveling to Crooked Island's fishing lodges, beaches and birdwatching areas.
