About César Manrique-Lanzarote Airport

Overview

César Manrique-Lanzarote Airport serves as the primary aviation gateway to Lanzarote, one of the Canary Islands located off the northwest coast of Africa. Positioned in San Bartolomé, the airport supports commercial passenger traffic and plays a critical role in the island's transportation infrastructure at an elevation of 46 feet mean sea level.

Flying Conditions

The airport's location in the Canary Islands suggests maritime subtropical climate conditions with generally stable weather patterns. Winds and visibility can be influenced by the island's oceanic positioning, with potential for crosswind conditions on the primary runway 03/21, which measures 7,874 feet in length and is constructed of asphalt.

Notable Features

Lanzarote's volcanic landscape creates unique terrain considerations for approaching and departing aircraft. The airport's coordinates at 28.945499, -13.605200 position it in an area with potential for localized wind shifts and thermal variations typical of island environments.

Approach Considerations

Runway 03/21's substantial length of 7,874 feet provides ample space for most commercial aircraft operations. Pilots should anticipate potential maritime wind influences and be prepared for potential crosswind scenarios when planning arrivals and departures at this Canary Islands airport.
