About Cagliari Elmas Airport

Overview

Cagliari Elmas Airport serves as a primary international airport for Sardinia, Italy, located in the southern region of the island near Cagliari. Positioned at an elevation of 13 feet mean sea level, the airport provides critical aviation infrastructure for regional and international air transportation. Its single runway (14/32) extends 9,196 feet, accommodating a wide range of aircraft operations.

Flying Conditions

Mediterranean maritime climate influences the airport's weather patterns, characterized by generally mild conditions and moderate seasonal variations. Coastal proximity contributes to potential wind shifts and marine layer developments that pilots should anticipate during approach and departure. The relatively low elevation of 13 ft MSL suggests minimal terrain-related atmospheric complexities.

Notable Features

The airport's geographic position on Sardinia's southern coast presents unique navigational considerations for pilots. Its single runway (14/32) aligned at approximately 140/320 degrees offers strategic orientation for prevailing wind conditions. The airport's large classification indicates substantial infrastructure supporting commercial and potentially military aviation operations.

Approach Considerations

Runway 14/32's extensive 9,196-foot length provides considerable flexibility for aircraft handling and operational safety. Pilots should prepare for potential maritime wind influences during approach, with runway alignment potentially offering natural wind alignment advantages. Standard instrument approach procedures will be relevant given the airport's international classification and coastal location.
