It is the second largest airport in the Turks & Caicos, after Providenciales International Airport.
The airport is named for James Alexander George Smith McCartney, the Territory's first Chief Minister, who died in a plane crash in New Jersey, United States in 1980.
JAGS McCartney has the ability to handle large aircraft, such as the Boeing 757 and Airbus A321 jets. The airport also houses a restaurant, rental car facilities, and free parking facilities.
