About Gobernador Horacio Guzman International Airport

Overview

Gobernador Horacio Guzman International Airport serves San Salvador de Jujuy in Argentina, functioning as a critical medium-sized regional airport. Located at coordinates -24.392799, -65.097801, the airport provides essential aviation infrastructure for Jujuy Province, situated in the northwestern region of the country. Its elevation of 3019 feet above mean sea level positions it in a distinctive geographical context.

Flying Conditions

The airport's high-altitude location at 3019 ft MSL introduces specific atmospheric considerations for pilots, potentially affecting aircraft performance and engine dynamics. Situated in a mountainous region, pilots should anticipate potential variations in temperature, density altitude, and wind patterns that can impact takeoff and landing procedures. The elevation suggests careful performance calculations, particularly for turbine and piston aircraft.

Notable Features

The single runway (16/34) extends 9,698 feet and is constructed with asphalt, providing substantial length for various aircraft operations. Its orientation suggests potential crosswind challenges, which are typical in mountainous terrain. The geographic positioning in northwestern Argentina indicates proximity to complex topographical features that may influence local meteorological conditions.

Approach Considerations

Runway 16/34's significant length of 9,698 feet allows flexibility for different aircraft categories and provides adequate safety margins for high-altitude operations. Pilots should anticipate potential terrain-induced wind shifts and be prepared for potential density altitude effects during approach and departure. Standard mountain flying techniques and thorough pre-flight performance calculations are recommended.

Data Sources & Accuracy: Airport information sourced from OurAirports.com, a collaborative database of worldwide airport data. Weather data from official aviation weather services including NOAA Aviation Weather Center and international METAR/TAF providers. Information is updated regularly but pilots should always verify current conditions and NOTAMs through official channels before flight operations.
