It services small airliners. It is a minor airfield with 12 parking stands and a small amount of tarmac space. The airfield has seen military use as an interceptor base. During the 1960s or 1970s, Sukhoi Su-15 aircraft were based at Besovets. During the 1970s, it was home to the 991st Fighter Aviation Regiment (991 IAP), which flew Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-25 'Foxbat' aircraft. In 1992–93, the 159th Guards Fighter Aviation Regiment (159 IAP) transferred in from Poland, having left the 4th Air Army. As of 2019 it flies the Sukhoi Su-35S aircraft and is now part of the 105th Guards Mixed Aviation Division, 6th Air and Air Defence Forces Army. In November 2019, specialists of the Military-Construction Complex of the Ministry of Defence of Russia completed the reconstruction of the artificial coating of the runway of the airfield.
