About Malindi Airport
Overview
Malindi Airport serves the coastal region of Kenya, located near the Indian Ocean in the southeastern part of the country. As a medium-sized airport with two runways, it provides critical aviation infrastructure for the Malindi area, supporting both regional and local air transportation needs. The airport sits at a low elevation of 80 feet above mean sea level, typical of coastal Kenyan terrain.
Flying Conditions
Pilots can expect predominantly Visual Flight Rules (VFR) conditions, with 84.2% of observations supporting clear flying conditions. The airport experiences consistent southerly winds averaging 10.7 knots, with temperatures ranging from 21°C to 33°C. November, December, and September represent the most favorable months for VFR flying, offering optimal weather conditions for aircraft operations.
Notable Features
The airport features two runways: 08/26 at 3,701 feet and 17/35 at 4,600 feet, providing flexibility for different aircraft types. Both runways demonstrate favorable wind alignment, with 100% wind compatibility and relatively low average crosswind speeds. The airport's coastal location suggests potential for rapid weather changes and sea-influenced wind patterns.
Approach Considerations
With a prevailing wind from the south (180°) and consistently low crosswind conditions, both runways offer predictable approach characteristics. Runway 08/26 experiences an average crosswind of 7.1 knots, while Runway 17/35 has a slightly lower average crosswind of 5.8 knots. Pilots should anticipate stable approach conditions with high visibility averaging 10 statute miles.
