The airport is spread over 65 acres, has a 1300 metre long runway and a 4410 square metre apron for two small aircraft. A 125 square metre rest house serves as a terminal building.
The district administration plans to expand the airport at a cost of 28.5 crore to enable the operation of larger aircraft.{{cite news|title= Ganganagar expands airstrip to connect with Jaipur, Delhi |url= https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/jaipur/ganganagar-expands-airstrip-to-connect-with-jaipur-delhi/articleshow/59358949.cms |access-date=15 July 2018|newspaper=The Times of India|date=29 June 2017}}
