About Gan International Airport
Overview
Gan International Airport serves the Maldives, located on Gan Island in Addu Atoll. As a medium-sized airport at only 6 feet above mean sea level, it provides critical aviation infrastructure in this remote Indian Ocean archipelago. The airport's single runway (10/28) spans an impressive 12,000 feet, capable of handling significant aircraft operations.
Flying Conditions
Weather at Gan is predominantly VFR, with 86.7% of observations indicating clear conditions. Winds consistently blow from the west (270°) at an average of 8.6 knots, with occasional gusts up to 30 knots. Temperature remains stable, averaging 28.5°C, with a narrow range between 23°C and 32°C, creating consistently predictable flying environments.
Notable Features
The airport's low elevation and island location suggest minimal terrain interference and straightforward approach geometries. Its geographical position in the Maldives provides strategic maritime and regional connectivity. The long 12,000-foot concrete runway enables diverse aircraft types to operate comfortably with substantial landing and takeoff margins.
Approach Considerations
Runway 10/28 offers highly favorable wind conditions, with 100% wind alignment and a modest average crosswind of just 4.4 knots. September through November represent the optimal VFR months for operations. Pilots can expect consistently high visibility, with an average of 10 statute miles and essentially zero instances of restricted visibility or fog.
