About Maio Airport

Overview

Maio Airport serves Vila do Maio on Cape Verde's Maio Island, providing essential aviation infrastructure for this remote island location. As a medium-sized airport situated at 36 feet above mean sea level, it supports regional transportation needs for this Atlantic island community.

Flying Conditions

Cape Verde's maritime tropical climate influences airport conditions, characterized by consistent winds and minimal precipitation. Pilots should anticipate stable weather patterns typical of the archipelago's coastal environment, with generally predictable atmospheric conditions throughout the year.

Notable Features

The airport features a single asphalt runway (01/19) measuring 3,937 feet in length, accommodating regional aircraft and providing critical transportation infrastructure for Maio Island. Its coastal positioning at coordinates 15.155900, -23.213699 means terrain and wind interactions may require careful navigation considerations.

Approach Considerations

Runway 01/19's orientation suggests potential crosswind scenarios typical of island airports. Pilots should be prepared for potential wind variability and carefully assess local conditions during approach, utilizing standard island airport procedures for safe landing and departure.
