There have been a few intermitent closures over the past few years. One because someone built a house in the apporach path, once to do some runway improvements and once because of a safety certification problem. Now it is mostly open but with strict aircraft size restrictions.
Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. - Mark Twain

The airport only had one two day closure this year for maintenance - over the past three years its been basically open for business - if you fly Air Sunshine or Cape Air and the airport happens to be closed the airline will land in EIS and you'll be ferried over to Spanish town
