In addition to an airport-managed fixed-based operator (FBO), the airport is home to Helicopter Powerline Services, a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)- certified Part 133 operation that provides services for powerline construction, aerial sawing, and right-of-way management. 

The airport also attracts many visitors to the area for nearby recreational activities, including the ATV Hatfield & McCoy Trail System. an annual Coal Show brings international crowds to the area, and the aircraft parking apron fills up with visiting transient aircraft.
