AAI built the airport at a cost of ₹ 400 crore. The airport has a 2,500 m (8,200 ft) long and 45 m (148 ft) wide runway, a 4,000-square-metre (43,000 sq ft) terminal building that can handle 200 passengers per hour, an Air Traffic Control (ATC) tower, an apron for two Airbus A320s/B737, taxiways and an isolation bay.
The terminal building has six check-in counters and two arrival belts with a peak hour handling capacity of 200 passengers. The design of the terminal building is inspired by the Baidyanath Temple's structure, and there are murals and paintings of Adivasi art, handicrafts and local tourist sites inside the airport. The airport is also equipped with an Instrument Landing System (ILS). The airport received DGCA approval for night landings in April 2024. Additionally, a DVOR navigational facility, completed in May 2022, is also fully operational.
The adequate infrastructure and basic public facilities have been put in place in the terminal ensuring convenient and user-friendly experience for passengers thereby smoothing flight operations from the airport.
