Barnes Municipal Airport covers an area of 1,200 acres (5 km²) which contains two paved runways: 2/20 measuring 9,000 x 150 ft (2,743 x 46 m) and 15/33 measuring 5,000 x 100 ft (1,524 x 30 m). The airport has recently opened a new administration and terminal which replaced an aging terminal building that used to house the original control tower.
The airport is also the site of a major Massachusetts Air National Guard fighter jet wing and support installation.
