The Airpark is owned and operated by the Revenue Authority. The MCRA, created in 1957, is a public corporation established to construct, improve, equip, furnish, maintain, acquire, operate and finance projects devoted wholly or partially for public good, use, or general welfare. A six-member board of directors governs the MCRA.

All aeronautical activities including fueling, aircraft storage, aircraft maintenance, flight training and related services are provided by a separate, fixed-base operator. As owner and Federal grant sponsor, the MCRA secures State and Federal funding for the Airpark and is responsible for the runways, taxiways, navaids and other common areas.
