Serving the Narathiwat province, the airport is strategically important for the region's infrastructure both geographically and economically as it serves as both a joint domestic and Thai military outpost airport.

Currently there are only direct flights from the Narathiwat Airport to Bangkok which operate on a daily and bi-daily basis, however recent planning by the Department of Airports suggests the terminal will undergo major upgrades which is resulting in the planning of additional routes to and from Narathiwat from both domestic and international airlines.

The Narathiwat Airport is located on the road number 4136 (Narathiwat - Ban Thorn). There are 8 customer parking lots that contained around 350 cars by two types of parking are

1. Day time parking lots (no longer than a night) which are lots number 1, 2, 5, 6, 7, 8 for passengers and staffs.
2. Overnight time parking lots (over a night) which are lots number 3 and 4. The passengers who need to use overnight parking lot must register at registration desk is in front of airport terminal with the identification card without fee, but the airport does not take any responsibilities for damage and disaster occurrence.
