About Mustique Airport

Overview

Mustique Airport serves the private island of Mustique in the Caribbean nation of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines. Located at 12.887900, -61.180199, this medium-sized airport provides essential aviation access to the exclusive island community. The airport sits at a low elevation of 8 ft mean sea level, facilitating relatively straightforward terrain navigation.

Flying Conditions

As a Caribbean airport, Mustique experiences typical tropical maritime weather conditions with potential for rapid changes. Pilots should anticipate warm temperatures and potential convective activity, particularly during the hurricane season. The airport's low elevation and island location suggest potential for wind variability and localized weather phenomenon.

Notable Features

The airport features a single runway (09/27) with an asphalt surface measuring 3,255 feet in length. Its relatively short runway requires precise approach and landing techniques, especially for larger aircraft. The island's geographical position suggests potential for crosswind conditions due to surrounding oceanic environments.

Approach Considerations

Runway 09/27's orientation indicates potential wind-dependent approach preferences based on prevailing Caribbean wind patterns. Pilots should exercise careful speed and descent management given the runway's moderate length. Standard Caribbean approach procedures and heightened situational awareness are recommended when operating into this island airport.
