The Runway and Taxiway are equipped with lights and therefore available for night time operations as too.
"SKY DIVING" is its primary Activity and there is a team of dedicated Instructors who are available to handle any prospective student. The training courses are completed nearly always on time, this is mainly because of the excellent weather conditions that prevail throughout the year and because of the availability of a "SPECIAL MODIFIED" aircraft for this purpose, this facility is also open to members as well.
