About Miramichi Airport

Overview

Miramichi Airport is a medium-sized airport located in Miramichi, Canada, serving the northeastern region of New Brunswick. Situated at an elevation of 108 feet above mean sea level, the airport provides critical aviation infrastructure for regional transportation and serves multiple operational needs.

Flying Conditions

Located at 47.007801, -65.449203, Miramichi Airport experiences typical Maritime Canadian weather conditions with potential significant variability. Pilots should anticipate seasonal temperature and wind fluctuations that could impact flight operations across its multiple runways.

Notable Features

The airport features four substantial asphalt runways, providing extensive operational flexibility for different aircraft types and wind conditions. Runway lengths range from 5,200 feet (04/22) to 10,006 feet (09/27), offering significant capacity for various aircraft classes and operational requirements.

Approach Considerations

With four distinct runway orientations (04/22, 09/27, 10/28, and 15/33), pilots have multiple approach options depending on prevailing wind conditions. The longest runway (09/27 at 10,006 feet) provides the most substantial landing and takeoff capability, potentially serving as the primary operational runway for larger aircraft.
