As a medium-sized international airport with a single runway spanning 10,171 feet, it supports commercial and regional aviation operations in this strategic North African location.

Flying Conditions

The airport experiences predominantly favorable VFR conditions, with 91.8% of observations showing clear flying weather. Winds predominantly blow from the west (270°) at an average of 9.6 knots, with maximum recorded speeds of 28 knots. Temperature ranges from 6°C to 43°C, with an average of 19.7°C, providing generally stable atmospheric conditions for flight operations.

Notable Features

Situated at a low elevation of 19 feet mean sea level, Djerba Zarzis International Airport offers straightforward terrain navigation with minimal altitude-related challenges. The airport's geographic position on the island provides consistent wind patterns, with a remarkably favorable wind alignment of 100% for the primary 09/27 runway, resulting in minimal crosswind interference for most operations.

Approach Considerations

Runway 09/27 presents optimal approach conditions with an average crosswind of just 5.1 knots. October, November, and September represent the most consistent VFR months, offering pilots the most predictable flying conditions. The consistently high visibility (average 10 statute miles) and absence of reported fog contribute to reliable approach and landing scenarios.
