About Palma de Mallorca Airport

Overview

Palma de Mallorca Airport (LEPA) serves as the primary international gateway for the Balearic Islands, located on the island of Mallorca, Spain. As a large airport situated at 27 feet above mean sea level, it handles significant commercial and tourist traffic, connecting the Balearic archipelago with mainland Europe and international destinations.

Flying Conditions

The airport's Mediterranean coastal location influences its weather patterns, typically characterized by stable conditions with moderate winds. Given its low elevation of 27 ft MSL, pilots can expect generally mild atmospheric conditions, though seasonal variations can impact wind directions across the two parallel runways (06L/24R and 06R/24L).

Notable Features

Palma de Mallorca Airport features two substantial asphalt runways: 06L/24R at 10,728 feet and 06R/24L at 9,842 feet in length. The parallel runway configuration provides operational flexibility, allowing simultaneous approaches and departures while accommodating various aircraft types from regional commuters to large international jets.

Approach Considerations

Approach considerations at LEPA are influenced by the airport's dual runway system, with runway headings of 060/240 degrees. Pilots should anticipate potential crosswind conditions given the airport's coastal positioning, and remain prepared to utilize either runway based on prevailing wind directions and air traffic control instructions.
