About Del Rio International Airport
Overview
Del Rio International Airport serves the border region of southwest Texas, located near the Mexico-US boundary. Situated at 1,002 feet above mean sea level, the airport provides critical transportation infrastructure for Val Verde County. As a medium-sized airport, it supports regional commercial, general aviation, and potentially military operations.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at Del Rio are predominantly VFR, with approximately 79.9% of observations showing favorable visual flight rules. The airport experiences consistent southeast winds averaging 7.4 knots, with temperatures ranging from -4°C to 37°C. Seasonal variations are moderate, with October, September, and January offering the most stable VFR conditions.
Notable Features
The airport's single runway 13/31 is 6,300 feet long with an asphalt surface, providing substantial operational flexibility. Its geographic positioning near the international border suggests potential unique airspace considerations. The terrain surrounding Del Rio is characteristic of southwest Texas, with generally flat topography that supports predictable approach and departure paths.
Approach Considerations
Runway 13/31 demonstrates excellent wind alignment, with 100% favorable wind conditions and a minimal average crosswind of 2.6 knots. Pilots can expect consistent visibility averaging 9.6 statute miles, with very low instances of restricted visibility (fog occurs in only 0.4% of observations). The predominant southeast wind pattern typically favors approaches from runway headings.
