For the 12-month period ending August 31, 2008, the airport had an average of 62 aircraft operations per day: 52% scheduled commercial, 43% general aviation and 5% military.[2]

CWA has T-Hangars for lease or an individual or corporation can construct their own hangar.[3]
On 1 September 2012, the airport began a $10 million modernization program, moving the security checkpoints and enlarging the ticket counters to lower passenger congestion. The airport is gaining a geothermal energy system that will reduce utility bills, providing all but 20% of its heating and cooling requirements.[4]
