About Kawama Airport

Overview

Kawama Airport serves the Santa Marta region in Cuba, functioning as a medium-sized airport with critical regional connectivity. Located at coordinates 23.124001, -81.301598, the airport provides essential aviation infrastructure for the local area, situated at a low elevation of 16 ft mean sea level.

Flying Conditions

Being near coastal Cuba, pilots can anticipate variable maritime weather influences that may impact flight operations. The airport's low elevation suggests minimal terrain-induced wind variations, though standard coastal wind patterns should be expected and monitored during pre-flight planning.

Notable Features

The airport features a single runway (06/24) measuring 4,850 feet with an asphalt surface, suitable for medium-sized aircraft operations. Its geographical positioning near Santa Marta indicates potential maritime and coastal environmental interactions that could affect local aeronautical conditions.

Approach Considerations

Runway 06/24 offers flexibility for approaches depending on prevailing wind conditions, with the 4,850-foot asphalt surface providing adequate length for most medium-sized aircraft. Pilots should conduct standard wind assessments and utilize runway heading based on current meteorological conditions during arrival and departure planning.
