About Los Cabos International Airport
Overview
Los Cabos International Airport serves as the primary aviation gateway for the southern Baja California Peninsula, strategically located in San José del Cabo, Mexico. The airport handles significant international and domestic passenger traffic, connecting the tourist-rich region of Los Cabos with major destinations across North America and beyond.
Flying Conditions
The airport's elevation of 374 feet MSL provides relatively stable approach conditions with minimal terrain-induced turbulence. Located in a coastal desert region, pilots can expect generally clear skies and minimal precipitation, though seasonal wind variations can impact runway operations, particularly on the 16/34 orientation.
Notable Features
The single runway (16/34) extends 9,843 feet with an asphalt surface, providing substantial landing and takeoff capability for wide-body and long-range aircraft. The airport's geographical position at 23.151919, -109.720731 places it in a unique coastal environment with potential for maritime weather influences and thermal dynamics.
Approach Considerations
Runway 16/34's extended length allows flexibility for diverse aircraft types, with approaches potentially influenced by coastal wind patterns. Pilots should anticipate potential crosswind conditions given the airport's peninsular location, and prepare for potential wind shifts during approach and landing phases.
