It is included in the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2017–2021, in which it is categorized as a basic general aviation facility.[2] Although no commercial airlines service the airport, it does serve general aviation traffic, including business and leisure fliers.
