About Lampedusa Airport
Overview
Lampedusa Airport serves the Italian island of Lampedusa, located between Sicily and North Africa in the Mediterranean Sea. As a medium-sized airport with an elevation of 70 feet MSL, it provides critical transportation infrastructure for this strategically positioned island. The airport supports regional and tourist air traffic in this unique maritime environment.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at Lampedusa Airport are predominantly very favorable for visual flight, with 90.7% of observations reporting VFR conditions. The prevailing northwest wind at 315° averages 11 knots, with occasional stronger gusts up to 39 knots. Seasonal temperature ranges from 9°C to 30°C, with an average of 19.9°C, making for generally stable flying weather.
Notable Features
The single runway 08/26 is 5,906 feet long with an asphalt surface, positioned to take advantage of the consistent northwestern wind patterns. The airport's island location means potential for rapid weather changes and maritime wind influences. Pilots should be aware of the open sea surrounding the airport, which can create unique wind and visibility conditions.
Approach Considerations
Runway 08/26 experiences favorable wind alignment 100% of the time, with an average crosswind of just 7.3 knots. September, October, and November offer the most consistent VFR conditions for operations. The low elevation and absence of significant terrain features provide relatively straightforward approach and departure paths.
