About Ibiza Airport

Overview

Ibiza Airport serves as the primary airport for the Balearic Island of Ibiza, located in the Mediterranean Sea off the eastern coast of Spain. Situated at a low elevation of 24 ft MSL, the airport is strategically positioned to handle significant air traffic, particularly during the tourist-heavy summer season. As a large airport, it supports commercial passenger and charter operations for this popular tourist destination.

Flying Conditions

The airport's Mediterranean coastal location suggests variable wind conditions that can impact flight operations. With a single runway (06/24) measuring 9,186 feet in length, the asphalt surface provides substantial landing and takeoff capabilities for most commercial aircraft. Pilots should anticipate potential thermal and sea breeze effects common to island airports, which can create localized wind shear and turbulence.

Notable Features

Positioned at coordinates 38.872898, 1.373120, the airport is surrounded by relatively flat terrain typical of the Balearic Islands. The low elevation minimizes significant terrain-related challenges for approaches and departures. Its geographical position means aircraft will frequently operate over water during initial climb or final approach phases, requiring standard maritime navigation considerations.

Approach Considerations

The single runway (06/24) suggests wind direction will be a primary factor in determining preferred approach and departure directions. Pilots should carefully review current wind reports to select the most advantageous runway heading. Given the airport's coastal location, standard maritime approach procedures and potential crosswind considerations should be carefully evaluated during flight planning.

Data Sources & Accuracy: Airport information sourced from OurAirports.com, a collaborative database of worldwide airport data. Weather data from official aviation weather services including NOAA Aviation Weather Center and international METAR/TAF providers. Information is updated regularly but pilots should always verify current conditions and NOTAMs through official channels before flight operations.
