About Loreto International Airport

Overview

Loreto International Airport serves the municipality of Loreto in Baja California Sur, Mexico. Located at an elevation of 34 feet MSL, this medium-sized airport provides critical aviation access to the coastal region. Its single runway (16/34) extends 7,218 feet with an asphalt surface, supporting various aircraft operations in this southeastern Baja California peninsula location.

Flying Conditions

Weather conditions at Loreto are predominantly VFR, with 99% of observations indicating clear flying conditions. Temperatures range from 15°C to 37°C, with an average of 26.3°C, creating generally stable atmospheric conditions. Wind patterns are consistent, with northerly winds (0°) averaging 10 knots and occasional gusts up to 25 knots, with calm conditions present 32.7% of the time.

Notable Features

The airport's geographic positioning near the coast influences its meteorological characteristics. With extremely low occurrence of reduced visibility (only 0.1% of observations below 3SM), pilots can expect generally clear approach and departure conditions. The surrounding terrain is typical of the Baja California peninsula, with minimal obstruction potential for standard flight operations.

Approach Considerations

Runway 16/34 demonstrates highly favorable wind alignment, with 100% wind compatibility and an average crosswind of only 6.4 knots. December, January, and November represent the most consistent VFR months, offering optimal flying conditions. Pilots should anticipate predictable wind patterns and excellent visibility when operating at this airport.
