The original airport had a runway length of 5500 feet. It was recently expanded to accommodate jet aircraft. It now has one paved runway: 18/36 8400x100ft.
The airport served as an airbase both for the Allies and the Japanese during World War II. The airbase was heavily bombed by the Allies. Evidence of aircraft bunker revetments and bomb craters can still be seen on the southern end of the airfield, especially noticeable from the air.
