About Pantelleria Airport
Overview
Pantelleria Airport serves the island of Pantelleria, located in the Mediterranean Sea between Sicily and Tunisia. As a medium-sized airport with two asphalted runways, it provides critical aviation infrastructure for this strategic Italian island location. The airport sits at an elevation of 628 feet above mean sea level, positioned at coordinates 36.816502, 11.968900.
Flying Conditions
The airport experiences predominantly favorable visual flying conditions, with 78.4% of observations reporting VFR conditions. Wind patterns are consistently from the south (180°) at an average of 9.6 knots, with occasional stronger gusts up to 38 knots. Temperature ranges from 7°C to 32°C, with an average of 17°C, offering generally stable flying conditions throughout the year.
Notable Features
Both runways (02/20 and 07/25) demonstrate 100% favorable wind coverage, with modest average crosswind components of 6.2 and 6.8 knots respectively. The airport's geographical position in the Mediterranean creates unique wind and visibility characteristics, with consistently good visibility averaging 10 statute miles and minimal fog occurrence (0.1% of observations).
Approach Considerations
October, September, and November represent the best months for VFR flying, with optimal weather conditions. The airport's two runways (4,003 ft and 5,495 ft in length) provide flexible approach options. Pilots should anticipate potential moderate to strong southern winds and prepare for potential crosswind landings, though the statistical data suggests generally manageable wind conditions.
