The airport has a single short grass runway and a helipad, the latter being mainly used for search and rescue (SAR) flights.

Customs services are not available, so no international flights are allowed except for those from other Schengen countries.

The airport is used mainly for recreational purposes, so it is not open in winter (October 1 through the last day of March) unless prior arrangements are made.

About 5,500 airplane movements (takeoff or landing) are made at the airport a year.

OFD Ostfriesischer-Flug-Dienst offers an on-demand service to Borkum and Emden.
