About Baracoa Airport

Overview

Baracoa Airport (SKMG) is a medium-sized airport located in Magangué, Colombia, situated at an elevation of 178 feet above mean sea level. The airport serves the local region with its single runway 11/29, which measures 4,921 feet in length and is surfaced with asphalt.

Flying Conditions

Located at 9.284740 latitude and -74.846100 longitude, the airport experiences typical tropical maritime weather conditions characteristic of Colombia's coastal regions. Pilots should anticipate potential variability in wind direction and speed, which can impact approach and landing procedures on the single runway.

Notable Features

The airport's moderate elevation of 178 feet MSL indicates a relatively low-altitude operational environment with minimal terrain challenges. The asphalt runway suggests standard surface conditions, but pilots should be prepared for potential local meteorological variations that are common in coastal Colombian regions.

Approach Considerations

Runway 11/29's 4,921-foot length accommodates medium-sized aircraft operations, providing sufficient runway distance for most regional and domestic aircraft. Approach planning should consider the runway's orientation and potential wind conditions, which may influence landing and takeoff preferences.
