About Gabès Matmata International Airport
Overview
Gabès Matmata International Airport serves the southeastern Tunisian region, located near the coastal city of Gabès. Situated at 407 feet above mean sea level, this medium-sized airport provides critical aviation infrastructure for the area, connecting the region to broader transportation networks.
Flying Conditions
The airport experiences predominantly visual flight rules (VFR) conditions, with 53.3% of observations supporting clear flying and an additional 44% in marginal VFR status. Wind patterns are consistently from the southwest at 225 degrees, averaging 8.5 knots with occasional gusts up to 25 knots. September, October, and November represent the most favorable months for VFR operations, offering the most stable flying conditions.
Notable Features
The single runway (06/24) is 3,702 feet long with an asphalt surface, oriented to accommodate the prevailing southwestern wind patterns. Temperature variations are significant, ranging from 3°C to 44°C, which can impact aircraft performance and fuel calculations. The airport's geographic location suggests potential thermal and terrain-induced wind variations typical of coastal Mediterranean environments.
Approach Considerations
Runway 06/24 demonstrates excellent wind alignment, with 100% favorable wind coverage and minimal average crosswind at 2.9 knots. Visibility consistently remains excellent, with an average of 10 statute miles and extremely rare instances of reduced visibility. Pilots should anticipate stable approach conditions, particularly during the recommended autumn months of peak VFR performance.
