An expansion programme was underway by 2011 and by 2013 it was completed with the expansion of the runway from 4,750 feet (1,450 m) to 6,234 feet (1,900 m) and then the old runway was refurbished. Lights were going to be added to the runway but as of 2023 there still has been no further information about it.
The Terminal was also Refurbished as Modernized with new infraestructure upgrades, x-ray machines, two immigration offices, two cafeterias, new parking lot.
The runway was extended so that medium sized jet aircraft can land there such as Embraer E-Jet, Gulfstream G and Bombardier Challenger. With a range of 2,150 nautical miles (3,980 km; 2,470 mi) and a minimum takeoff run of 1,644 metres (5,394 ft), the Embraer E-170 could in theory reach Corn Island airport from airports throughout the East Coast of the United States as well as in the Caribbean and northern mainland South America. However, no further facilities to handle such a plane, nor immigration and customs exist at the airport.
