About Hermanos Ameijeiras Airport

Overview

Hermanos Ameijeiras Airport serves the Las Tunas province in Cuba, functioning as a medium-sized airport critical for regional transportation. Located at coordinates 20.987600, -76.935799, the airport provides essential aviation infrastructure for eastern Cuba. Its elevation of 328 feet above mean sea level positions it in a relatively low-altitude coastal terrain.

Flying Conditions

As a Caribbean airport, Hermanos Ameijeiras experiences typical tropical maritime weather patterns with potential for rapid atmospheric changes. Pilots should anticipate potential crosswind conditions given the airport's single runway orientation of 05/23. The 5,971-foot asphalt runway provides adequate length for most medium-sized aircraft operations.

Notable Features

The airport's geographical positioning in Las Tunas province suggests a terrain characterized by relatively flat coastal landscapes. Its 05/23 runway alignment indicates potential wind exposure from prevailing Caribbean wind patterns. The asphalt runway surface requires standard considerations for tropical climate-related maintenance and potential thermal expansion effects.

Approach Considerations

Approach considerations should prioritize runway 05 or 23 based on current wind vector and direction. With a single runway measuring 5,971 feet, standard medium-airport approach protocols are applicable. Pilots should maintain standard instrument meteorological condition awareness typical of Caribbean regional airports.
