About Sanya Phoenix International Airport

Overview

Sanya Phoenix International Airport serves the southernmost city of Hainan Province, China, positioned near the tropical coastal region. As a large international airport with significant infrastructure, it supports both commercial passenger traffic and strategic regional aviation needs for this southeastern maritime province.

Flying Conditions

Located at a low elevation of 92 ft MSL, the airport experiences tropical maritime climate conditions with potential for variable wind patterns. Pilots should anticipate humidity and potential convective weather typical of coastal southern Chinese environments, which can influence approach and departure strategies.

Notable Features

The airport features a single substantial runway (08/26) measuring 11,155 feet constructed with concrete surface, providing extensive operational flexibility for diverse aircraft types. Its geographical coordinates at 18.302900, 109.412003 place it in a coastal region with potential maritime meteorological influences that could affect local atmospheric conditions.

Approach Considerations

The runway's significant length of 11,155 feet allows for comprehensive approach options with good performance margins for commercial and potentially military aircraft. Runway orientation (08/26) suggests wind considerations from easterly and westerly directions will be primary factors in approach and departure planning.
