About Phu Quoc International Airport

Overview

Phu Quoc International Airport serves as a key aviation gateway to Phu Quoc Island in Vietnam, located at coordinates 10.169800, 103.993100. Situated at an elevation of 37 ft mean sea level, the airport operates a single runway 10/28 measuring 9,843 feet with an asphalt surface, accommodating medium-sized aircraft operations.

Flying Conditions

Meteorological data indicates highly consistent visual flight rules (VFR) conditions, with 96% of observations supporting VFR operations. Temperature ranges from 18°C to 34°C with an average of 27.1°C, providing stable thermal conditions. The prevailing wind from the northeast (45°) averages 7.3 knots, with December, January, and November presenting the most favorable flying weather.

Notable Features

The airport's geographic position on an island creates unique wind dynamics, with a remarkably consistent wind profile supporting runway 10/28. Crosswind components average only 4.1 knots, suggesting generally benign lateral wind conditions for most aircraft. The airport's low elevation and island location contribute to predictable meteorological patterns.

Approach Considerations

Runway 10/28 demonstrates 100% favorable wind alignment, making it consistently suitable for arrivals and departures. Excellent visibility averaging 10 statute miles and minimal instances of marginal conditions (only 3.8% MVFR) suggest straightforward approach procedures. Pilots can expect reliable visual references and minimal weather-related operational constraints.
