Poor Taxiway and Apron Conditions: Recent inspections indicate the taxiway surface is in POOR condition, and the apron surface is also POOR, exhibiting extensive cracking and complete failures in some areas.
Lack of Facilities and Amenities: As an unattended general aviation airport, there are no reported terminal facilities, security checkpoints, customs, or extensive passenger amenities. "Customs Not Available" is explicitly stated.
