About José Joaquín de Olmedo International Airport

Overview

José Joaquín de Olmedo International Airport serves as the primary international gateway for Guayaquil, Ecuador's largest city and economic center. Located at an elevation of 19 feet mean sea level, the airport handles significant commercial and cargo traffic for the coastal region. Its strategic position makes it crucial for both domestic and international aviation operations in Ecuador.

Flying Conditions

Guayaquil's coastal location creates dynamic weather conditions that pilots should carefully monitor. The airport experiences a tropical maritime climate with potential for rapid visibility and wind changes. Seasonal variations can impact approach and departure conditions, particularly during the wet season from December to May.

Notable Features

The airport features a single runway (03/21) measuring 9,154 feet with an asphalt surface, providing substantial landing and takeoff capabilities for large commercial aircraft. Its geographical coordinates at -2.157420, -79.883598 place it near sea level in a relatively flat coastal environment. The low elevation and proximity to the Pacific Ocean contribute to specific meteorological considerations for flight operations.

Approach Considerations

Runway 03/21 offers flexibility for arrivals and departures based on prevailing wind conditions. Pilots should anticipate potential crosswind scenarios given the airport's coastal location. Standard instrument approach procedures and careful wind monitoring are recommended for safe operations at this international airport.
