About Mariana Grajales Airport

Overview

Mariana Grajales Airport serves the Guantánamo region in Cuba, positioned at coordinates 20.085300, -75.158302. As a medium airport situated at 56 feet above mean sea level, it provides critical aviation infrastructure for the eastern Cuban province. The airport supports regional transportation and connectivity for the Guantánamo area.

Flying Conditions

Located in southeastern Cuba, the airport experiences typical Caribbean maritime weather patterns with potential wind variations. The single runway (17/35) measuring 8,025 feet in length with an asphalt surface offers substantial operational flexibility. Pilots should anticipate potential crosswind conditions given the airport's coastal geographical positioning.

Notable Features

The airport's elevation of 56 feet MSL indicates a relatively low-altitude environment without significant terrain challenges. Its single runway (17/35) oriented in a north-south configuration provides straightforward approach and departure options. The asphalt runway surface suggests standard ground handling characteristics for most aircraft types.

Approach Considerations

Runway 17/35's considerable 8,025-foot length accommodates a wide range of aircraft categories and provides generous landing/takeoff margins. Given the runway's north-south orientation, pilots should be prepared for potential crosswind scenarios typical in coastal Caribbean environments. Standard instrument approach procedures would likely leverage the runway's favorable length and surface characteristics.
