Woody (Yongxing) Island Airport has a 2,700-metre (8,900 ft) runway that is capable of handling any fourth generation combat aircraft of the Chinese Naval airforce such as the Chengdu J-10AH, Shenyang J-11BH, Xian JH-7A, and the Sukhoi Su-30MK2. The airport can handle airliners like a Boeing 737, but there is no scheduled airline service to the airport. The runway is paved concrete and unmarked.
The airport also has four hangars, a radar navigation station and four large fuel tanks, enabling it to serve as a forward deployment base for refueling warplanes on combat missions.
