The airport opened in 1966 as a simple airstrip and remains a compact facility with a runway of about 900 metres. Because of the runway length, it is used by small aircraft, with scheduled services typically operated by light aircraft connecting the island to the provincial capital of Kupang.
Located close to Seba, the regency capital, the airport offers a short onward journey into the town centre by car, motorbike taxi or, for light travellers, on foot. Its position makes it convenient for reaching Seba and the nearby coastal areas of Savu Island.
