About Siguanea Airport

Overview

Siguanea Airport serves Isla de la Juventud, a significant island located off the southern coast of Cuba. Positioned at 21.642500, -82.955101, this medium airport provides critical transportation infrastructure for the island's regional connectivity. The airport's elevation of 39 feet above mean sea level indicates a relatively flat terrain typical of Caribbean island landscapes.

Flying Conditions

Being located in the Caribbean, Siguanea Airport experiences maritime tropical climate conditions with potential for variable weather patterns. Pilots should anticipate potential wind shifts and periodic tropical weather systems that could impact flight operations. The single runway (05/23) spanning 5,905 feet of asphalt surface provides reasonable operational flexibility for medium-sized aircraft.

Notable Features

The airport's single runway (05/23) is oriented in a near east-west alignment, which can provide some natural wind channeling benefits. Its asphalt surface suggests moderate ground friction characteristics and standard pavement performance expectations. The island's geographic position might introduce localized wind patterns that could require careful approach planning.

Approach Considerations

Runway 05/23's significant length of 5,905 feet allows for comfortable approach and landing for most medium-sized aircraft. Given the runway's orientation, pilots should anticipate potential crosswind scenarios and be prepared to adjust approach techniques accordingly. The airport's low elevation and island location suggest potential for smooth approach conditions with minimal terrain complications.
