About Corpus Christi International Airport

Overview

Corpus Christi International Airport serves the coastal region of South Texas, located in Nueces County near the Gulf of Mexico. As a medium-sized airport with two paved runways, it supports regional commercial, military, and general aviation operations. The airport's low elevation of 44 feet MSL and coastal positioning make it an important transportation hub for the Corpus Christi metropolitan area.

Flying Conditions

The airport experiences predominantly VFR conditions, with 79.8% of observations showing clear weather suitable for visual flight. Southeastern winds are consistent, averaging 9.1 knots and rarely exceeding 31 knots. Temperature variations range from 0°C to 36°C, with September through November offering the most stable flying conditions. Pilots should anticipate occasional reduced visibility, with fog present in 7.1% of observations and visibility dropping below 3 statute miles in 1.2% of reports.

Notable Features

Both runways (13/31 and 17/35) offer excellent wind coverage, with 100% favorable wind conditions. The airport's coastal location suggests potential for rapidly changing maritime weather patterns and potential wind shear. The relatively flat terrain surrounding the airport provides consistent approach and departure environments with minimal terrain complications.

Approach Considerations

With prevailing southeastern winds at 135 degrees, runway 13/31 and 17/35 both offer manageable crosswind conditions averaging between 4.7 and 5.1 knots. Pilots can expect stable approach conditions during the most favorable months of September, October, and November. The long runway lengths (7508 ft and 6080 ft) provide ample landing and takeoff options for most aircraft types.
