About Eugenio Maria De Hostos Airport

Overview

Eugenio Maria De Hostos Airport serves the western region of Puerto Rico, situated near Mayaguez. Located at 28 feet above mean sea level, this medium-sized airport provides critical aviation infrastructure for the local area and regional transportation needs.

Flying Conditions

Positioned at 18.255699, -67.148499, the airport experiences typical Caribbean maritime weather patterns with potential tropical maritime influences. Pilots should anticipate potential convective activity and seasonal wind variations that could impact operations on the single 4,998-foot asphalt runway.

Notable Features

The airport features a single runway (09/27) oriented east-west, which allows for flexible approach and departure options based on prevailing wind conditions. Its low elevation and coastal proximity suggest potential wind shear and turbulence considerations during approach and landing.

Approach Considerations

Runway 09/27's 4,998-foot asphalt surface provides adequate length for most medium-sized aircraft operations. Pilots should carefully assess wind direction and speed when selecting runway orientation, with particular attention to potential crosswind components given the airport's geographic location.
