About Port Harcourt International Airport
Overview
Port Harcourt International Airport serves as a critical aviation gateway in southern Nigeria, located in the Niger Delta region near the city of Port Harcourt. Situated at an elevation of 87 feet MSL, the airport supports regional and commercial air transportation with a substantial runway measuring 9,846 feet in length.
Flying Conditions
Pilots can expect variable visual flight conditions, with 41.9% of observations categorized as Marginal VFR and 40.1% as IFR. Prevailing winds from the southwest (225°) average 5.5 knots, with occasional gusts up to 19 knots. Temperature remains consistently warm, averaging 27.1°C with a range between 21°C and 36°C, which may impact aircraft performance.
Notable Features
The airport's single runway (03/21) is asphalted and offers favorable wind alignment, with 100% wind compatibility. The surrounding terrain is typical of the Niger Delta region, characterized by low-lying coastal plains. Calm wind conditions occur in 36% of observations, providing relatively stable approach and departure environments.
Approach Considerations
December, November, and January represent the best months for visual flight conditions, offering optimal weather parameters for pilots. The runway experiences an average crosswind of just 2.9 knots, which minimizes wind-related approach complexity. Pilots should anticipate consistent visibility averaging 10 statute miles, with negligible instances of reduced visibility or fog.
