About Marie-Galante Airport
Overview
Marie-Galante Airport serves the island of Marie-Galante, located in the Guadeloupe archipelago of the Caribbean. Situated in Grand-Bourg, this medium-sized airport provides essential air transportation infrastructure for the island, connecting it to regional destinations. The airport sits at a low elevation of 16 feet above mean sea level, typical of Caribbean coastal airports.
Flying Conditions
The airport experiences tropical maritime weather conditions characteristic of the Caribbean region. Winds predominantly align with the runway 09/27 orientation, which spans 4,068 feet and is surfaced with asphalt. Pilots should anticipate potential thermal and convective activity common to island environments, with potential rapid weather changes due to the proximity to ocean and mountainous terrain.
Notable Features
Marie-Galante Airport's single runway (09/27) provides a critical transportation link for the island's 11,600 residents. The airport's low elevation and geographical position make it susceptible to marine layer formations and potential crosswind conditions. Its location at coordinates 15.868925, -61.270087 places it in a strategic position within the Guadeloupe archipelago.
Approach Considerations
Runway 09/27's 4,068-foot asphalt surface accommodates regional aircraft operations. Approaches should consider the prevailing easterly winds and potential marine layer conditions. Pilots should be prepared for potential wind variability due to the island's topography and coastal positioning.
