About Puerto Escondido International Airport
Overview
Puerto Escondido International Airport serves the coastal region of Oaxaca, Mexico, providing air transportation access to this popular tourist destination. Located at an elevation of 294 feet MSL, the airport supports medium-sized aircraft operations with its single 7,546-foot asphalted runway. The airport's geographic coordinates of 15.876808, -97.089100 position it in a strategic location for regional and tourist aviation.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at MMPS are predominantly favorable for visual flight, with 97.2% of observations supporting VFR operations. The airport experiences consistent southerly winds averaging 5.3 knots, with occasional gusts up to 18 knots. Temperature ranges between 19°C and 33°C, with an average of 27.5°C, providing stable thermal conditions for most of the year. November through January offer the most consistent and predictable flying weather.
Notable Features
The airport's single runway (09/27) is oriented to capitalize on the prevailing southerly wind patterns, with 100% wind favorability. Crosswinds are minimal, averaging only 3.2 knots across the runway. The coastal location suggests potential for marine layer influences, though historical data indicates extremely low occurrences of reduced visibility or fog.
Approach Considerations
Pilots can expect highly predictable approach conditions, with excellent visibility averaging 11.1 statute miles. The runway's orientation and consistent wind patterns make 09/27 suitable for most wind conditions. Only 0.4% of observations show visibility below 3 statute miles, indicating reliable visual approach opportunities throughout the year.
