About General Francisco Javier Mina International Airport

Overview

General Francisco Javier Mina International Airport serves the Tampico metropolitan area in northeastern Mexico, located at 22.296400, -97.865898. The airport is a medium-sized facility with three asphalt runways ranging from 3,937 to 8,366 feet in length, situated at an elevation of 80 feet mean sea level (MSL).

Flying Conditions

The airport experiences predominantly Visual Flight Rules (VFR) conditions, with 70.6% of observations under VFR and 23.5% under Marginal VFR. Wind conditions are characterized by northerly prevailing winds averaging 6.7 knots, with a maximum recorded speed of 27 knots and calm periods occurring 9.7% of the time. Temperature variations range from 9°C to 33°C, with an average of 24.3°C.

Notable Features

All three runways demonstrate 100% favorable wind conditions, with modest average crosswind components between 3.8 and 4.6 knots. The airport's location offers relatively stable meteorological conditions, with September, October, and November presenting the best VFR flying conditions. Visibility averages 7.1 statute miles, with only 4.7% of observations showing visibility below 3 miles.

Approach Considerations

Pilots can expect consistent wind conditions that support operations across all runways. The longest runway (14/32 at 8,366 feet) provides the most substantial landing and takeoff option. With minimal low instrument meteorological conditions (0.2% LIFR), the airport generally supports predictable approach and departure procedures under visual or marginal visual flight rules.
