About Antoine-Simon International Airport
Overview
Antoine-Simon International Airport serves Les Cayes, Haiti, functioning as a medium-sized regional airport located at 18.271099, -73.788300. The airport provides critical transportation infrastructure for the southern Haiti region, situated at an elevation of 203 feet mean sea level. Its single runway supports essential regional and domestic aviation operations.
Flying Conditions
Located in Haiti's Caribbean climate zone, the airport experiences typical tropical maritime weather conditions with potential for significant seasonal wind variations. Pilots should anticipate potential turbulence and crosswind challenges, particularly during tropical storm and hurricane seasons. The airport's moderate elevation of 203 feet suggests relatively stable atmospheric conditions for most operations.
Notable Features
The airport features a single runway (08/26) with an asphalt surface measuring 3,220 feet in length. Its geographic position in southern Haiti indicates surrounding terrain that may include coastal and potentially hilly landscapes, which could influence local wind patterns and approach dynamics. The runway orientation suggests potential crosswind scenarios depending on prevailing wind directions.
Approach Considerations
Runway 08/26 provides a standard approach environment with its 3,220-foot asphalt surface. Pilots should carefully evaluate wind conditions and potential crosswind components during landing, given the runway's single directional configuration. Standard instrument approach procedures and visual flight rules should be carefully reviewed prior to arrival at Antoine-Simon International Airport.
