About Banjul International Airport
Overview
Banjul International Airport serves as The Gambia's primary international aviation gateway, located in Yundum, approximately 24 kilometers from Banjul city center. As a large airport situated at 95 feet above mean sea level, it provides critical air transportation infrastructure for the region. The airport supports both international and domestic aviation operations for this West African nation.
Flying Conditions
The airport's elevation of 95 feet MSL indicates a relatively low-altitude environment with generally stable atmospheric conditions. Being located near the coast, pilots can expect potential maritime weather influences, including potential humidity and sea-level wind patterns. Seasonal variations in temperature and precipitation are typical for the subtropical West African climate zone.
Notable Features
The airport features a single runway (14/32) with an impressive length of 11,811 feet, constructed with asphalt surface. Its geographic coordinates (13.338000, -16.652201) position the airport in a relatively flat coastal region. The substantial runway length supports operations for a wide range of aircraft types, from regional commuters to larger international aircraft.
Approach Considerations
Runway 14/32's extended length provides flexibility for approach and landing procedures across different wind conditions. The asphalt surface and low elevation suggest generally favorable landing characteristics. Pilots should anticipate potential crosswind components given the runway's orientation and coastal location, and prepare accordingly during approach and landing phases.
