About Port-de-Paix Airport

Overview

Port-de-Paix Airport serves the northwestern coastal region of Haiti, located in the commune of Port-de-Paix. This medium-sized airport provides essential aviation infrastructure for the local community and regional transportation needs at a low elevation of 9 feet above mean sea level.

Flying Conditions

The airport's low elevation and coastal location suggest potential for variable wind conditions typical of Caribbean maritime environments. Pilots should anticipate potential wind shifts and be prepared for changing meteorological conditions, particularly during seasonal transition periods.

Notable Features

The airport features a single runway (05/23) with a gravel (GVL) surface measuring 2,100 feet in length. Its geographical coordinates at 19.934045, -72.848010 place it in a region with potential terrain variations that pilots should carefully assess during approach and departure procedures.

Approach Considerations

Runway 05/23 provides directional flexibility for landings and takeoffs based on prevailing wind conditions. The relatively short 2,100-foot gravel runway requires careful airspeed and landing technique management, particularly for larger aircraft or during challenging meteorological conditions.
