As a civilian airfield, Northeastern Regional Airport is a general aviation facility. The sole operational runway, Runway 1/19, was originally an 8,000 foot by 200 foot paved surface when control of the air station was relinquished by the military. Although the entire pavement length remains, the approach ends have been displaced and only a 6,000 foot by 100 foot section is currently maintained and usable. A Category I ILS approach has also been installed on Runway 19, albeit without any precision approach lighting.

Although still standing, the former air station's air traffic control tower was abandoned upon the military's departure and has never reopened, leaving the airport as an uncontrolled airport with UNICOM services only. Several of the other former military buildings have since been converted to multiple civilian aviation and non-aviation uses.
