About Enrique Adolfo Jimenez Airport

Overview

Enrique Adolfo Jimenez Airport serves the Colón province in Panama, situated at an elevation of 25 feet mean sea level. As a medium-sized airport with coordinates 9.356640, -79.867401, it provides critical aviation infrastructure for the northeastern coastal region of Panama. The airport supports regional transportation needs with its substantial 8,858-foot concrete runway.

Flying Conditions

Located in a tropical maritime climate, the airport experiences consistent temperature and humidity throughout the year. Pilots should anticipate potential convective weather typical of Panama's coastal environments, with potential afternoon thunderstorm development. The airport's low elevation of 25 feet MSL suggests minimal terrain-induced weather variations.

Notable Features

The single runway (18/36) provides a significant 8,858-foot concrete surface, accommodating a wide range of aircraft types. Its orientation suggests potential crosswind scenarios, particularly given the coastal geographical positioning. The airport's proximity to the Caribbean coastline may introduce maritime meteorological influences during approach and departure.

Approach Considerations

Runway 18/36's considerable length allows flexible approach options for most aircraft categories. Prevailing winds and local terrain characteristics will influence preferred approach directions, with careful attention to potential maritime wind shifts. Pilots should conduct thorough pre-flight planning, considering the airport's coastal location and potential rapid weather changes.
