About Bauerfield International Airport
Overview
Bauerfield International Airport serves as the primary international gateway for Vanuatu, located in Port Vila on Efate Island. As a large airport with two runways, it supports commercial, charter, and potentially some military aviation operations in the South Pacific region.
Flying Conditions
Port Vila's tropical maritime climate produces consistently warm temperatures and potential convective weather patterns. Pilots should anticipate potential wind variations between the two runways, with the primary asphalt runway (11/29) offering 8,530 feet of length compared to the grass runway at 3,310 feet.
Notable Features
The airport sits at a relatively low elevation of 70 feet mean sea level, situated near coastal terrain. Its geographical coordinates (-17.699301, 168.320007) place it in a region with potential maritime wind influences and surrounding mountainous landscape that could impact local weather dynamics.
Approach Considerations
With two distinct runways (11/29 and 11R/29L), pilots have operational flexibility based on wind conditions. The substantial 8,530-foot asphalt runway provides significant landing and takeoff options for various aircraft types operating in this South Pacific environment.
