About Juan Gualberto Gomez International Airport

Overview

Juan Gualberto Gomez International Airport serves the Matanzas region in Cuba, functioning as a significant international gateway. Located at coordinates 23.034401, -81.435303, the airport provides critical aviation infrastructure for the area. Its substantial 11,490-foot runway enables handling of large commercial and international aircraft operations.

Flying Conditions

Situated at 210 feet mean sea level, the airport experiences typical Caribbean coastal weather patterns with potential for variable wind conditions. The airport's geographical position suggests potential for thermal variations and occasional maritime air masses. Pilots should anticipate standard tropical meteorological dynamics that could influence flight planning and approach strategies.

Notable Features

The single runway (06/24) is constructed with asphalt, providing a robust surface for heavy aircraft movements. The airport's elevation of 210 feet MSL indicates a relatively low-altitude environment without significant terrain complications. Its geographic location suggests potential interactions with coastal atmospheric conditions that could impact flight operations.

Approach Considerations

Runway 06/24's extended length of 11,490 feet offers substantial operational flexibility for diverse aircraft types. The runway's orientation suggests potential crosswind considerations during approach and landing phases. Pilots should conduct standard wind assessment and runway selection protocols consistent with prevailing meteorological conditions.
