About Koné Airport

Overview

Koné Airport serves the New Caledonia region as a medium-sized airport located in the western part of the province. Situated at 23 feet above mean sea level, the airport provides critical transportation infrastructure for the Koné area, supporting regional and local aviation needs.

Flying Conditions

New Caledonia's tropical maritime climate influences airport conditions, with potential for varied wind patterns across the single runway (09/27). The airport's relatively low elevation at 23 ft MSL suggests generally stable atmospheric conditions without significant altitude-related performance challenges for aircraft.

Notable Features

The airport features a single runway measuring 3,281 feet, classified as a MAC (Medium Aircraft) surface. Its geographical coordinates at -21.053551, 164.838768 position the airport in a coastal region, which may introduce specific wind and visibility considerations for pilots during approach and departure.

Approach Considerations

Runway 09/27 provides directional flexibility for landings based on prevailing wind conditions. Pilots should anticipate potential crosswind scenarios given the airport's tropical maritime location, and prepare standard approach procedures suitable for a medium-sized airport with MAC classification.
