A small single story terminal building processes passengers and baggage and also serves as the customs area.

The island is not a traditional Caribbean tourist destination, and so it does not have overcrowded beaches and blueprint resorts.

The local government has, however, sought to increase tourism by attracting visitors to visit its dive sites, hike its dormant volcano The Quill and explore the remains of its colonial history and the restored historical city of Oranjestad.

Part of this plan is a proposed 1,000-foot (300 m) extension of the runway, in order to accommodate even larger aircraft and additional destinations.

Access to the airport is by private vehicle or taxi service from the surrounding areas of the island.
