About General Guadalupe Victoria International Airport

Overview

General Guadalupe Victoria International Airport serves the city of Durango in north-central Mexico, operating as a key transportation hub for the Durango region. Located at coordinates 24.125468, -104.527938, this large airport provides critical air connectivity for commercial, cargo, and potentially regional aviation operations. The airport's substantial elevation of 6,104 feet mean sea level positions it in a significant mountainous terrain environment.

Flying Conditions

The high-altitude environment at 6,104 feet MSL will significantly impact aircraft performance, requiring careful weight, balance, and power calculations for all operations. Pilots should anticipate reduced engine and aerodynamic performance due to the thin air at this elevation. Seasonal weather variations in this mountainous region can produce challenging wind conditions, particularly around the primary runway 03/21.

Notable Features

The airport features a single runway 03/21 measuring 9,514 feet in length, constructed with asphalt surface. This runway length provides substantial operational flexibility for most commercial and regional aircraft types, accommodating varying aircraft weights and performance envelopes. The airport's geographic position in the Durango region suggests potential terrain-influenced wind patterns and potential thermal dynamics typical of mountainous landscapes.

Approach Considerations

Runway 03/21's extended length of 9,514 feet offers pilots significant landing and takeoff margin, particularly critical at the airport's high elevation. Approach planning should carefully consider the airport's 6,104-foot MSL elevation and potential wind variations. Pilots should be prepared for potential performance adjustments related to altitude and anticipate potential terrain-influenced wind conditions during arrival and departure phases.
