About Tozeur Nefta International Airport
Overview
Tozeur Nefta International Airport serves the southern Tunisian region, situated at 287 ft above mean sea level near the city of Tozeur. Located at coordinates 33.939701, 8.110560, this medium-sized airport provides critical aviation infrastructure in a desert environment. The airport features a single substantial asphalt runway (09/27) measuring 10,581 feet in length.
Flying Conditions
Meteorological data indicates highly favorable VFR conditions 68.5% of the time, with MVFR conditions present 31% of observations. Winds predominantly blow from the west (270°) at an average of 8.3 knots, with maximum gusts reaching 27 knots. Temperature variations are significant, ranging from 4°C to 39°C with an average of 18.7°C, suggesting potential thermal considerations during operations.
Notable Features
The airport's desert location presents unique geographical characteristics with consistent westerly wind patterns. The single runway (09/27) demonstrates excellent wind alignment, with favorable wind conditions 100% of the time and an average crosswind component of only 3.8 knots. Visibility is typically excellent, averaging 10 statute miles with minimal instances of reduced visibility.
Approach Considerations
Optimal flying conditions occur during autumn months (September, October, November), offering the most stable weather parameters. Runway 09/27's extensive 10,581-foot length provides ample maneuvering space, and its west-east orientation aligns perfectly with prevailing wind directions. Pilots should anticipate consistent winds and high visibility when planning approaches to this southern Tunisian airport.
