About Flamingo International Airport
Overview
Flamingo International Airport serves Kralendijk on the Caribbean island of Bonaire, functioning as the primary airport for this Dutch Caribbean territory. Located at coordinates 12.131000, -68.268501, this large airport provides critical air transportation infrastructure for the region, with a significant runway measuring 9,449 feet in length.
Flying Conditions
Being situated in the Caribbean, the airport experiences typical tropical maritime weather conditions characterized by consistent temperatures and periodic trade winds. The airport's low elevation of 20 feet mean sea level suggests minimal terrain-related atmospheric variations and generally stable approach conditions.
Notable Features
The airport features a single asphalt runway (10/28) oriented east-west, which provides flexibility for aircraft operations based on prevailing wind directions. Its substantial runway length of 9,449 feet accommodates a wide range of aircraft types, from regional commuter planes to larger international aircraft.
Approach Considerations
Runway 10/28's extensive length and orientation suggest adaptability to regional wind patterns typical of Caribbean environments. Pilots should anticipate potential crosswind conditions due to the east-west runway alignment and prepare accordingly during approach and landing procedures.
