About El Embrujo Airport

Overview

El Embrujo Airport serves Providencia Island, located in the Caribbean off Colombia's coast. As a medium-sized airport with a single 3,832-foot asphalted runway, it provides critical transportation infrastructure for this remote island community. The airport sits at a low elevation of 10 feet mean sea level, making it accessible for various aircraft types.

Flying Conditions

Weather conditions at El Embrujo are predominantly visual flight rules (VFR), with 74.1% of observations supporting clear conditions. The prevailing easterly winds at an average of 6.6 knots create generally stable flying environments, with maximum recorded winds of 23 knots. Temperature consistently ranges between 22°C and 34°C, with an average of 28°C, providing predictable thermal conditions for pilots.

Notable Features

The airport's single runway (17/35) demonstrates excellent wind alignment, with 100% favorable wind conditions. Its geographical position on a Caribbean island suggests potential for challenging maritime weather influences, though the statistical data indicates remarkably consistent visibility averaging 10 statute miles. The low elevation and island location likely contribute to the airport's stable meteorological profile.

Approach Considerations

Runway 17/35 experiences an average crosswind of 5.3 knots, which is generally manageable for most aircraft. January, September, and October represent the best months for VFR operations, offering the most stable flying conditions. Pilots should anticipate consistent easterly winds and prepare for typical Caribbean maritime environmental factors when planning approaches to this island airport.
