It handles over 3,565,000 tourists a year who come in from the sea and an exponential rate of freight dependant on political climates and weather conditions.

There is a permanent team of 60 pilots, 60 gunners and 240 soldiers who work in three shifts named A, B and C.

The airport now also houses 10 b-52 bombers, 10 F/B-4 Phantom III Fighter Bombers and 10 F/A-117X NightHawk Stealth Fighters. This brings the total crew and ground crew on the base to 650 men.
