About Maradi Airport
Overview
Maradi Airport serves the city of Maradi in southeastern Niger, providing critical regional aviation infrastructure at an elevation of 1,240 feet MSL. As a medium-sized airport, it supports essential transportation needs in this part of the West African Sahel region. The airport features a single runway 09/27 with a 6,070-foot asphalt surface.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at Maradi Airport are predominantly VFR, with 68.4% of observations showing clear conditions and an additional 22.4% categorized as marginal VFR. Temperature variations are significant, ranging from 14°C to 38°C with an average of 29.2°C. Pilots can expect consistent easterly winds averaging 7.3 knots, with maximum gusts up to 19 knots and calm periods occurring 8.6% of the time.
Notable Features
The airport's geographical location in the Sahel region suggests a predominantly flat terrain typical of the area. Runway 09/27 demonstrates excellent wind alignment, with 100% favorable wind conditions and an average crosswind component of only 2.6 knots. Visibility is consistently good, with an average of 10 statute miles and no recorded instances of fog.
Approach Considerations
September through November represent the most favorable VFR months for operations at Maradi Airport. The runway's substantial 6,070-foot length provides ample landing and takeoff distance for most medium-sized aircraft. Given the consistent easterly winds, approach and departure along the 09/27 axis will typically offer the most favorable wind conditions for flight operations.
