About Marsa Matruh International Airport
Overview
Marsa Matruh International Airport serves the coastal region of northwestern Egypt, located near the Mediterranean Sea. As a medium-sized airport with two substantial 9,843-foot asphalted runways, it provides critical aviation infrastructure for the Marsa Matruh region. The airport sits at a low elevation of 75 feet mean sea level, offering relatively straightforward terrain considerations.
Flying Conditions
Meteorological data indicates consistently excellent flying conditions, with VFR conditions prevailing 89.7% of the time. Winds predominantly blow from the northwest at an average of 8.5 knots, with maximum gusts reaching 27 knots. Pilots can expect stable weather, particularly during September, November, and December, which represent the best VFR months with minimal visibility restrictions.
Notable Features
The airport features two parallel runways (06/24 and 15/33) oriented to accommodate the prevailing northwest winds. Both runways demonstrate 100% favorable wind alignment, with modest average crosswind components of 5.6 and 5.1 knots respectively. The coastal location suggests potential maritime meteorological influences, though the data indicates remarkably consistent atmospheric conditions.
Approach Considerations
Given the northwest wind pattern, runway 06/24 will typically provide the most favorable approach conditions. Temperature variations are moderate, ranging from 9°C to 31°C with an average of 19.9°C, which should not significantly impact aircraft performance. Pilots can anticipate excellent visibility averaging 10 statute miles, with no recorded instances of significant fog or reduced visibility.
