About Monseñor Óscar Arnulfo Romero International Airport
Overview
Monseñor Óscar Arnulfo Romero International Airport serves San Salvador, located in San Luis Talpa, El Salvador. As a large international airport with two runways, it provides critical aviation infrastructure for commercial and potentially military operations in the region. The airport's strategic location and substantial runway lengths make it a significant transportation hub for Central America.
Flying Conditions
Situated at 101 feet mean sea level, the airport experiences typical tropical maritime conditions common to coastal El Salvador. Pilots should anticipate potential variations in visibility and wind conditions, with the longer 10,500-foot runway (07/25) offering substantial operational flexibility. Asphalt surfaces on both runways provide standard ground handling characteristics for most aircraft types.
Notable Features
The airport features two runways with different lengths: a primary 10,500-foot runway (07/25) and a secondary 2,625-foot runway (18/36). Both runways are constructed of asphalt, providing consistent surface conditions. The airport's geographic coordinates (13.440900, -89.055702) place it in a coastal region with potential terrain and wind considerations typical of Central American landscapes.
Approach Considerations
Runway orientation suggests potential crosswind scenarios, with the 07/25 and 18/36 runways providing multiple approach options. The substantial length of the primary runway (10,500 feet) accommodates a wide range of aircraft types and provides significant margin for safe landing and takeoff operations. Pilots should conduct standard terrain and wind assessments when planning approaches to this airport.
