About General Bartolome Salom International Airport

Overview

General Bartolome Salom International Airport serves Puerto Cabello, a significant maritime city in Venezuela. Located at coordinates 10.480500, -68.072998, this medium-sized airport supports regional transportation needs with its single runway configuration. The airport is positioned near the Caribbean coast, facilitating connections for commercial and potentially military aviation operations.

Flying Conditions

Situated at 32 feet mean sea level, the airport experiences typical Caribbean coastal weather patterns characterized by warm temperatures and potential maritime atmospheric variations. Pilots should anticipate potential sea breeze influences and occasional coastal weather transitions. The low elevation suggests minimal terrain-related atmospheric complexity for approach and departure procedures.

Notable Features

The airport features a single runway (10/28) measuring 6,970 feet with an asphalt surface, providing adequate length for most medium-sized aircraft operations. Its coastal location near Puerto Cabello implies potential wind variability and maritime meteorological conditions that could impact flight planning. The geographic positioning suggests potential crosswind scenarios during approach and departure phases.

Approach Considerations

Runway 10/28 offers flexibility for aircraft operations based on prevailing wind conditions. The 6,970-foot asphalt runway provides sufficient length for most regional aircraft types, enabling relatively straightforward approach and departure procedures. Pilots should conduct standard terrain and wind assessments consistent with coastal airport environments when planning their operational strategy.
