About Val de Cans/Júlio Cezar Ribeiro International Airport

Overview

Val de Cans/Júlio Cezar Ribeiro International Airport serves Belém, the capital of Pará state in northern Brazil. As a large international airport situated at 54 feet above mean sea level, it provides critical aviation infrastructure for the Amazon region. The airport supports significant regional and international passenger and cargo operations.

Flying Conditions

Located near the equator at coordinates -1.379279, -48.476207, the airport experiences consistent tropical climate conditions with high humidity and frequent precipitation. Pilots should anticipate potential convective weather patterns typical of the Amazon basin, which can generate sudden thunderstorm activity. Temperature and humidity variations can significantly impact aircraft performance, especially during takeoff and landing.

Notable Features

The airport features three runways with substantial length variations: Runway 03/21 at 6,004 feet, Runway 07/20 at only 108 feet, and the primary Runway 07/25 extending 9,186 feet. The significant runway length on 07/25 provides flexibility for large aircraft operations and supports the airport's role as a major regional transportation hub. The relatively low elevation of 54 feet means minimal terrain challenges for approach and departure procedures.

Approach Considerations

Runway 07/25's extended length makes it the preferred runway for most commercial and cargo operations. Pilots should be prepared for potential wind shifts given the airport's proximity to coastal and riverine environments. Standard instrument approach procedures will be applicable, with careful attention to local meteorological conditions characteristic of the Amazon region.
