The airport serves occasional chartered planes en route to the commercial and private resorts in the area.

The most notable guest to land in the airport was the private plane carrying then presidential candidate Gilbert Teodoro, while campaigning in 2010.

According to former Mayor, now Vice-Mayor, Oscar C. Montilla, the opening of the airport to commercial operations will boost the tourism initiative in southern Negros, adding further to the average of 50,000 tourists visiting the city alone.

He further added last March 31, 2013 that SEAir has shown interest in operating charter flights to Sipalay.

The airport was still served by Air Juan for evacuation flights of resident expatriates and tourists stranded in Sipalay, with seasonal flights from Manila and Cebu to serve locally stranded individuals to bypass Bacolod–Silay Airport.
