About Goma International Airport

Overview

Goma International Airport serves the city of Goma in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, situated at a high elevation of 5,089 feet above mean sea level. The airport supports regional transportation needs in this geographically complex area of central Africa, providing critical infrastructure for air connectivity in a challenging terrain.

Flying Conditions

The high-altitude location at 5,089 feet MSL creates significant performance considerations for aircraft operations, particularly during takeoff and landing. Pilots should anticipate reduced engine and aerodynamic performance due to the airport's elevation, which will impact aircraft weight, density altitude, and overall operational capabilities.

Notable Features

The airport features a single runway (17/35) measuring 9,695 feet in length with an asphalt surface, providing substantial landing and takeoff space for medium-sized aircraft. Its geographic coordinates at -1.666170, 29.237929 place it in a region characterized by mountainous terrain and proximity to volcanic landscapes, which can generate complex local wind and meteorological conditions.

Approach Considerations

The runway's 17/35 orientation suggests potential crosswind considerations during approach and landing. Pilots should carefully evaluate wind conditions and prepare for potential wind shear or turbulence related to the surrounding topographical features, utilizing the full length of the 9,695-foot runway for safe operations.
