About Ian Fleming International Airport
Overview
Ian Fleming International Airport serves the Boscobel area in Jamaica, located at coordinates 18.404079, -76.969754. Positioned at an elevation of 90 feet mean sea level, this medium-sized airport provides essential aviation infrastructure for the region, named after the famous author who had connections to Jamaica.
Flying Conditions
Being situated on the northeastern coast of Jamaica, the airport experiences typical Caribbean maritime weather patterns with potential tropical maritime influences. Pilots should anticipate potential wind variations across the single runway 09/27, which measures 4,769 feet and is surfaced with asphalt.
Notable Features
The airport's 90-foot elevation suggests a relatively flat coastal terrain with minimal significant terrain variations. Its geographical position near the coastline may introduce localized wind shear and sea breeze effects that pilots should consider during approach and departure procedures.
Approach Considerations
The single runway 09/27 provides directional flexibility based on prevailing wind conditions. Given the runway's moderate length of 4,769 feet, aircraft performance and weight considerations will be critical for safe operations, particularly during approaches from different runway headings.
