About Puerto Vallarta International Airport
Overview
Puerto Vallarta International Airport serves as a critical aviation gateway for the Pacific coastal region of Mexico. Located at coordinates 20.679913, -105.254391, the airport supports commercial, cargo, and general aviation operations in the Jalisco state. As a large airport situated at 23 feet mean sea level, it provides essential air transportation infrastructure for the popular tourist destination of Puerto Vallarta.
Flying Conditions
The airport's low elevation of 23 ft MSL indicates a maritime climate with generally stable atmospheric conditions. Pilots can expect minimal terrain-induced turbulence due to the airport's coastal positioning. Seasonal wind patterns will likely influence runway selection, with the 04/22 runway offering a 10,171-foot asphalted surface to accommodate varying meteorological conditions.
Notable Features
Puerto Vallarta's airport is positioned near the Pacific coastline, which can introduce marine layer and coastal weather dynamics for approaching aircraft. The single runway configuration (04/22) provides flexibility for operations based on prevailing wind directions. The airport's geographical location suggests potential for rapid weather transitions typical of coastal environments.
Approach Considerations
Given the 10,171-foot runway length, the airport can accommodate a wide range of aircraft types and operational requirements. Runway 04/22's orientation suggests potential crosswind considerations during approach and landing. Pilots should anticipate standard coastal approach procedures and be prepared for potential marine layer or thermal effects during different times of day.
