Regional and domestic carriers that serve the airport include SVG Air, Adelphi Air, and InterCaribbean.
Amerijet International started operating its 767 aircraft through AIA in May 2017.
The AIA was designed to accommodate 1.2 million passengers each year and includes a freight terminal for imports and exports.
Two (2) terminal buildings (international and domestic) were constructed to accommodate 1000 passengers per hour upon arrival or departure.
The Argyle Airport was established by a coalition of the willing, which included Cuba, Venezuela, Mexico, and Taiwan.
