The airport is undergoing significant development, including the construction of a four-gate terminal expected to open in late 2026. Funding for this expansion, amounting to $30 million, was awarded in March 2025 for infrastructure and the terminal building.
Avelo Airlines, a low-cost carrier, has signed a Use and Lease Agreement, setting the terms for its operations. The airline anticipates launching its service with nonstop destinations, with details to be announced closer to the terminal's opening.
