About Benguela Airport

Overview

Benguela Airport serves the coastal city of Benguela in Angola, positioned at coordinates -12.609000, 13.403700. As a medium-sized airport with an elevation of 118 feet mean sea level, it provides essential transportation infrastructure for the region's commercial and regional aviation needs.

Flying Conditions

The airport's coastal location suggests potential maritime weather influences, with potential wind and visibility variations typical of Atlantic coastal environments. At 118 feet above sea level, the airport experiences relatively low-altitude atmospheric conditions that may introduce localized meteorological considerations for pilots.

Notable Features

The single runway 14/32 measures 5,315 feet in length and is surfaced with asphalt (ASP). Its orientation suggests potential crosswind challenges depending on prevailing wind directions, which pilots should carefully assess during approach and landing preparations.

Approach Considerations

Runway 14/32's length of 5,315 feet accommodates medium-sized aircraft operations, providing sufficient landing and takeoff distance for regional aviation requirements. Pilots should anticipate potential wind variations given the airport's coastal positioning and evaluate runway selection based on current meteorological conditions.
