Awtho the runway wis completit in 1994, the terminal did no open till 1999. Wi a 1,500 m × 30 m (4,921 ft × 98 ft) runwey the airport can anerly tak turbo-prop inter-island flichts, no jets frae mainland Europe, an anerly operates durin daylicht. Thare are twa return flichts per day, tae Tenerife North.[2]
Awtho 34 km (21 mi) frae the island caipital, the airport wis locatit here tae avoid disturbin the Garajonay Naitional Pairk an avoid the cloudier an foggier climate tae the North o the island, whilst the volcanic terrain gies few suitable steids onywhaur on La Gomera, awtho even this steid required extensive embankments at baith ends o the runway.
