About Gisenyi Airport

Overview

Gisenyi Airport serves the western Rwandan region near Lake Kivu, situated at a significant elevation of 5082 feet mean sea level. The airport provides essential aviation infrastructure for the Gisenyi urban area and surrounding regional territories, supporting medium-scale aviation operations.

Flying Conditions

Located near the equator at coordinates -1.677200, 29.258900, Gisenyi Airport experiences relatively consistent tropical highland climate conditions with potential rapid weather transitions. Pilots should anticipate variations in visibility and potential orographic cloud formations due to the airport's elevated terrain and proximity to mountainous landscapes.

Notable Features

The airport features a single runway (01/19) measuring 3330 feet in length with an asphalt surface, accommodating medium-sized aircraft operations. Its high-altitude positioning at 5082 feet MSL requires careful performance calculations, especially for aircraft with altitude and temperature sensitivity.

Approach Considerations

Runway 01/19 provides a standard unidirectional approach environment with potential wind variations typical of highland terrain. Pilots should conduct thorough pre-flight planning considering the airport's elevation, runway length limitations, and potential meteorological complexities associated with the region's geographic characteristics.
