About Macau International Airport

Overview

Macau International Airport serves as the primary aviation gateway for the Macau Special Administrative Region, located on the western side of the Pearl River Delta. Positioned at 20 feet above mean sea level, the airport supports international and regional air traffic with its substantial 10,544-foot concrete runway oriented at 16/34.

Flying Conditions

The airport's low elevation and coastal location suggest potential maritime weather influences, including possible sea breezes and variable visibility conditions. Pilots should anticipate potential wind shifts due to the airport's proximity to complex terrain and water interfaces in the Pearl River Delta region.

Notable Features

Situated at coordinates 22.149599, 113.592003, Macau International Airport is characterized by its relatively flat terrain and single substantial runway. The concrete runway configuration provides flexibility for various aircraft types, supporting both commercial passenger and cargo operations in the region.

Approach Considerations

The 16/34 runway orientation suggests potential crosswind considerations during approach and landing, with wind direction playing a critical role in runway selection. Pilots should prepare for potential maritime meteorological variations that could impact approach and departure procedures in this coastal airport environment.
