About Canouan Airport

Overview

Canouan Airport serves the Caribbean island of Canouan in St. Vincent and the Grenadines. Located at coordinates 12.699000, -61.342400, this medium-sized airport provides essential air access to the island. The airport sits at a low elevation of 11 feet mean sea level, making it a relatively flat and accessible airport for regional and charter operations.

Flying Conditions

As a Caribbean airport, Canouan experiences tropical maritime weather conditions with potential for rapid changes. Pilots should anticipate potential convective activity and tropical weather patterns typical of the Lesser Antilles region. The airport's low elevation suggests minimal terrain-induced weather complexities, but standard tropical aviation weather preparedness is recommended.

Notable Features

The airport features a single runway (13/31) with an asphalt surface measuring 5,900 feet in length. Its orientation allows for approaches from two primary directions, providing some wind flexibility for operations. The runway's substantial length supports medium-sized aircraft typical of regional and charter services in the Caribbean.

Approach Considerations

Runway 13/31's orientation suggests potential crosswind components depending on prevailing wind conditions. Pilots should be prepared for standard Caribbean approach considerations, including potential thermal activity and sea-level wind variations. The airport's low elevation and asphalt surface provide relatively straightforward approach and landing characteristics.
