About Juan Manuel Gálvez International Airport

Overview

Juan Manuel Gálvez International Airport serves Coxen Hole, Honduras, located on the island of Roatán in the Caribbean. As a medium-sized airport with a single runway measuring 7,349 feet, it provides critical air transportation infrastructure for this regional destination. The airport sits at a low elevation of 39 feet mean sea level, facilitating relatively straightforward operational conditions.

Flying Conditions

Weather observations indicate predominantly favorable Visual Flight Rules (VFR) conditions, with 88.5% of recorded periods supporting clear flying. The prevailing wind from the east (90 degrees) averages 7.9 knots, creating consistent and predictable wind patterns. Temperature remains stable, averaging 27.4°C with a moderate range between 20°C and 34°C, which supports stable atmospheric conditions for most of the year.

Notable Features

The airport's runway 07/25 demonstrates excellent wind alignment, with 100% favorable wind conditions. Crosswinds are minimal, averaging just 3.8 knots, which contributes to more comfortable landing and takeoff experiences. The airport's low elevation and island location suggest potential maritime meteorological influences that pilots should monitor during preflight planning.

Approach Considerations

September, October, and December represent the best months for visual flying, offering the most consistent meteorological conditions. The asphalt runway provides good surface characteristics, and the consistently high visibility (averaging 10 statute miles) supports reliable approach and landing procedures. Pilots should anticipate east-southeast wind conditions when planning arrivals and departures.
