As of December 2012, the runway is paved in good condition. Due to the typical sea breeze, takeoffs and landings are typically done east-bound. Private flights are allowed. Parking should be coordinated with Tropic Air or Maya Island Air. The airport has no security.
Common traffic advisory frequency (CTAF) is 122.8 MHz.
