The airport is located in Barangay Masiga in the town of Gasan, near the border with the provincial capital, Boac.

No airlines presently serve Marinduque Airport. Asian Spirit and Philippine Airlines served the airport in the past from Ninoy Aquino International Airport in Manila, but have since dropped the route. Light aircraft can also make use of the facilities.
