About Nouméa Magenta Airport

Overview

Nouméa Magenta Airport serves the capital city of New Caledonia, located in the South Pacific region. Situated at a low elevation of 10 feet mean sea level, the airport provides essential transportation infrastructure for Nouméa and surrounding areas. As a medium-sized airport, it supports regional and domestic aviation operations.

Flying Conditions

New Caledonia's tropical maritime climate can present variable weather conditions for pilots operating at Nouméa Magenta Airport. The single runway (17/35) is 4,101 feet long with an asphalt surface, accommodating moderate-sized aircraft. Pilots should anticipate potential wind variations typical of coastal and island environments.

Notable Features

The airport's geographic position at coordinates -22.258120, 166.472783 places it in a coastal setting with potential marine atmospheric influences. Its low elevation and proximity to the Pacific Ocean may result in rapid weather changes and potential visibility challenges. The single runway orientation (17/35) suggests alignment with predominant wind patterns in the region.

Approach Considerations

Runway 17/35 provides a straight-in approach option for aircraft operations. Given the airport's coastal location, pilots should be prepared for potential wind shear and turbulence, especially during seasonal weather transitions. Standard instrument approach procedures and visual flight rules operations are applicable to this medium-sized airport.
