About Conakry International Airport
Overview
Conakry International Airport serves Guinea's primary maritime city, located on the Atlantic coast. As a medium-sized airport situated at 72 feet above mean sea level, it provides critical international and regional aviation connectivity for West Africa. The airport supports essential transportation infrastructure for Conakry and surrounding regions.
Flying Conditions
Pilots can expect predominantly VFR conditions, with 57.2% of observations indicating clear weather and an additional 34% in marginal VFR status. Wind patterns are consistent from the west (270°) at an average of 6.2 knots, with occasional gusts up to 20 knots. Temperature ranges between 21°C and 34°C, with an average of 27.7°C, suggesting stable thermal conditions for most operations.
Notable Features
The single runway (06/24) extends 10,826 feet with an asphalt surface, offering substantial landing and takeoff capabilities. Its orientation allows for favorable wind alignment, with 100% wind compatibility and minimal average crosswind of 3.5 knots. The coastal location likely introduces maritime atmospheric influences that pilots should anticipate during approach and departure.
Approach Considerations
November, October, and January represent the most favorable months for visual flight conditions, characterized by stable weather patterns. The long runway and consistent wind profile from the west provide predictable approach characteristics. Visibility averages 10 statute miles, with extremely rare instances of reduced visibility, supporting generally reliable flight operations.
