The thing is that the island regularly experiences hurricane winds and because of this, the landing and take-off of airplanes is usually complicated. The peculiarity of the airport is its very small take-off runway. It is only four hundred meters; therefore, the airport cannot accept large-sized aircraft.

There are also small souvenir shops and a parking space for vehicles.
