About Essaouira-Mogador Airport
Overview
Essaouira-Mogador Airport serves the coastal city of Essaouira in western Morocco, positioned at 384 feet above sea level with geographic coordinates 31.397499, -9.681670. The medium-sized airport provides regional air transportation infrastructure for the Moroccan coastal region, supporting both civilian and potentially limited commercial operations.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at Essaouira-Mogador are predominantly MVFR, with 93.1% of observations in this category. Prevailing winds from the northeast at an average of 7.3 knots, with occasional gusts up to 26 knots, characterize the airport's wind environment. Temperature variations range from 4°C to 40°C, with an average of 18°C, presenting moderate thermal conditions for aircraft operations.
Notable Features
The airport features a single runway (16/34) measuring 8,553 feet in length, constructed with bituminous surface. Its coastal location suggests potential for marine layer influences and wind-related considerations. The terrain surrounding the airport is likely influenced by proximity to the Atlantic Ocean, which could introduce specific meteorological and operational dynamics.
Approach Considerations
Runway 16/34 demonstrates favorable wind alignment, with 100% wind compatibility and an average crosswind of 5.3 knots. Pilots can expect optimal VFR conditions during December, January, and September, with minimal instances of low-visibility scenarios (less than 3% combined IFR and LIFR conditions). Average visibility consistently remains around 10 statute miles, facilitating generally reliable approach and landing conditions.
