About Pemba Airport

Overview

Pemba Airport serves the Chake Chake region in Tanzania, located on Pemba Island in the Indian Ocean archipelago. As a medium-sized airport with an elevation of 80 feet mean sea level, it provides essential aviation infrastructure for regional transportation and connectivity to the Zanzibar archipelago.

Flying Conditions

The airport's coastal location suggests potential for variable wind conditions typical of island environments. Pilots should anticipate maritime weather influences, including potential sea breezes and localized wind shifts around the single 5,003-foot asphalted runway.

Notable Features

Situated at geographical coordinates -5.257260, 39.811401, Pemba Airport is positioned in a relatively low-elevation coastal terrain. The single runway (02/20) offers a substantial 5,003-foot length, providing adequate operational space for medium-sized aircraft typical of regional service.

Approach Considerations

The runway's orientation (02/20) suggests potential for direct headwind/tailwind configurations depending on prevailing wind conditions. Pilots should carefully evaluate wind direction and runway alignment during approach and landing, utilizing the full 5,003-foot runway length for safe operations.
