About Chetumal International Airport

Overview

Chetumal International Airport serves the capital of Quintana Roo state in southeastern Mexico, located near the Belize border. Positioned at 39 ft MSL with coordinates 18.504985, -88.328018, this medium airport provides critical transportation infrastructure for the Yucatan Peninsula's southeastern region. The airport supports regional and potentially international commercial and general aviation operations.

Flying Conditions

Weather conditions at Chetumal demonstrate highly favorable VFR flying environments, with 71.2% of observations presenting visual flight rules. Prevailing winds from the north (0°) average 8 knots, with a maximum recorded speed of 25 knots and calm conditions occurring 50.6% of the time. Temperature ranges from 14°C to 34°C, with an average of 26.5°C, and average visibility of 6.4 statute miles.

Notable Features

The airport's single runway 10/28 extends 7,244 feet with an asphalt surface, offering substantial landing and takeoff capabilities. Its geographic location near the Caribbean coast suggests potential for rapid weather changes typical of tropical maritime environments. The low elevation of 39 ft MSL indicates minimal terrain-related approach complexities.
