About Inagua Airport

Overview

Inagua Airport serves Matthew Town on the island of Inagua in the Bahamas, situated at approximately 20.98°N, 73.67°W. As a medium-sized airport with two substantial asphalt runways, it provides critical aviation infrastructure for this remote island location. The airport supports regional transportation needs with its 7,016 and 7,020-foot runway configurations.

Flying Conditions

Being located in the Caribbean, Inagua Airport experiences tropical maritime weather conditions with potential for sudden wind shifts and precipitation. The airport's low elevation of 8 feet mean sea level suggests minimal terrain-related turbulence during approach and departure. Pilots should anticipate typical Caribbean weather patterns, including potential seasonal wind variations.

Notable Features

The airport features two parallel runways (09/27 and 10/28) with nearly identical lengths around 7,000 feet, offering flexible operational capabilities. Its geographic position on a relatively flat island provides straightforward approach paths with minimal surrounding terrain complications. The substantial runway lengths accommodate a range of aircraft types typical to regional Caribbean operations.

Approach Considerations

Runway orientation suggests potential crosswind considerations, with 09/27 and 10/28 providing slight angular variations for wind management. Pilots should assess current wind conditions to select the most appropriate runway for landing. The extended runway lengths provide ample space for safe approaches and departures, supporting reliable operations in this maritime environment.
