It is a notorious "ghost airport"; despite its size and cost, it handles just three to five flights per day.[5][6]

The airport will have one runway that is 2,600 meters long and 45 meters wide (class 4C), and a 13,000 square meter terminal building. It is projected to handle 200,000 passengers and 900 tons of cargo annually by 2020.[1]
