Currently, it is one of the unused airports of Bangladesh. It was not fully constructed because of insufficient funds. But as the pressure of tourists seeking to visit Kuakata has increased, the Patuakhali authorities have been considering completing the construction of the airport. It is currently under the control of the Bangladesh Navy, for which it serves as an emergency runway, but in the future it could be used as a civilian airport.
