About Ken Jones Airport

Overview

Ken Jones Airport is a medium-sized airport located in Jamaica at coordinates 18.198799, -76.534500. Situated at an elevation of 20 feet mean sea level, the airport serves regional transportation needs in the Ken Jones area. Its single runway provides critical aviation infrastructure for the local region.

Flying Conditions

Being positioned near sea level at 20 ft MSL, the airport experiences relatively stable atmospheric conditions typical of Caribbean coastal environments. Temperature and wind variations are moderate, with minimal extreme weather fluctuations that might significantly impact flight operations. Pilots should anticipate typical maritime weather patterns common to Jamaica's coastal regions.

Notable Features

The airport features a single runway (09/27) with an asphalt surface measuring 3,412 feet in length. Its modest runway length suggests the airport primarily supports smaller aircraft and regional aviation operations. The airport's low elevation and coastal location indicate a relatively flat surrounding terrain with potential maritime wind influences.

Approach Considerations

Runway 09/27 provides a standard east-west orientation, which allows flexibility in approach and departure based on prevailing wind conditions. Pilots should conduct standard preflight wind assessments to determine the most appropriate runway direction. The 3,412-foot runway length requires careful performance planning, particularly for larger aircraft or during challenging environmental conditions.
