The runway lies exactly along the Canada–US border and is adjacent to the Scobey–Coronach Border Crossing between the two aforementioned towns. Customs may be cleared on either side of the border, but customs officials require two hours advance notice prior to landing, and landings are allowed only during the border crossing's normal hours of operation.
The airport covers an area of 6 acres (2.4 ha) and has one runway with a 3,330 by 75 ft (1,015 by 23 m) turf surface.[2] Canadian records list it as Runway 08/26[1] while U.S. records refer to it as Runway 7/25.[2] For the 12-month period ending September 9, 2008, the airport had 10 general aviation aircraft operations.[2]
