About Greater Moncton Roméo LeBlanc International Airport

Overview

Greater Moncton Roméo LeBlanc International Airport serves as a key aviation hub in southeastern New Brunswick, Canada. Located at 46.112202, -64.678596 with an elevation of 232 ft MSL, the airport supports regional and international air transportation with two substantial asphalt runways capable of handling diverse aircraft operations.

Flying Conditions

Pilots can expect highly variable weather conditions throughout the year, with significant seasonal temperature range from -21°C to 30°C. Visual Flight Rules (VFR) conditions predominate at 67.2% of observations, while Marginal VFR and Instrument Flight Rules conditions occur 18.9% and 9.3% of the time respectively. Prevailing southwest winds at an average of 9.8 knots create generally stable approach conditions.

Notable Features

The airport features two parallel runways: Runway 06/24 at 10,001 feet and Runway 11/29 at 8,000 feet, both constructed with asphalt surfaces. Both runways demonstrate 100% favorable wind alignment, with modest average crosswind components of 4.8 knots and 6.6 knots respectively. Average visibility consistently exceeds 13 statute miles, supporting reliable visual operations.

Approach Considerations

September through November represent the most consistent VFR months for arrivals and departures. Pilots should anticipate predominantly southwest wind patterns at 225 degrees, with potential wind gusts up to 30 knots. The extensive runway lengths and favorable wind conditions provide flexibility for most aircraft categories during approach and landing scenarios.
