About Praslin Island Airport

Overview

Praslin Island Airport serves the second-largest island in the Seychelles archipelago, providing critical transportation infrastructure for this Indian Ocean region. Located at 4.319256°S, 55.691561°E, the airport supports regional and inter-island aviation operations with its medium-sized facilities.

Flying Conditions

The airport sits at a low elevation of 10 feet mean sea level, which minimizes significant altitude-related performance considerations for aircraft. Being situated on an island, pilots should anticipate potential maritime weather influences, including variable wind conditions and periodic tropical marine climate patterns.

Notable Features

The single runway (15/33) measures 4,318 feet long and is constructed with an asphalt surface, suitable for medium-sized aircraft operations. Its geographical position on Praslin Island presents potential terrain interactions, with surrounding landscape potentially influencing local wind patterns and approach dynamics.

Approach Considerations

Runway 15/33's orientation suggests potential crosswind scenarios depending on prevailing maritime winds. Pilots should prepare for potential wind shear or turbulence typical of island airport environments, and carefully assess local meteorological conditions during approach and departure phases.

Data Sources & Accuracy: Airport information sourced from OurAirports.com, a collaborative database of worldwide airport data. Weather data from official aviation weather services including NOAA Aviation Weather Center and international METAR/TAF providers. Information is updated regularly but pilots should always verify current conditions and NOTAMs through official channels before flight operations.
