In 1998-2006 the runway surface, apron and taxiways were renovated by the government, but it was sufficient only to serve helicopters. After further reconstruction, the airport was officially reopened on 18 June 2016[1] for light aircraft (seating capacity up to four), gliders and helicopters. At that time, the airport had no refueling facilities and was formally just an airstrip with the assigned code A 129 and ICAO EYND (coordinates 55°19'40"N 21°2'45"E, 6 ft/2 m AMSL elevation, runway direction 08/26 and 815 m/2,674 ft asphalt).[2]

The facility was classified as a certified aerodrome on 3 July 2020 per NOTAM B0038/20 with new ICAO identifier EYNI and runway designator 07/25 (direction 73/253 deg mag) with dimensions 500 x 30 m (strip: 560 x 60 m, MTOM 5,700 kg) and call sign NIDA RADIO on ch 128.705.[3]
