About Cabo San Lucas International Airport
Overview
Cabo San Lucas International Airport serves the southern Baja California region, situated at an elevation of 459 feet MSL near the tip of the Baja California peninsula. The airport provides critical air transportation infrastructure for this tourist and maritime destination, handling medium-level aviation traffic in a coastal environment.
Flying Conditions
The airport experiences predominantly excellent visual flight conditions, with VFR conditions present 97.1% of the time. Wind patterns are remarkably consistent, with prevailing northwest winds at an average of 7 knots and maximum gusts of 24 knots. Temperatures range from 14°C to 35°C, with an average of 26.9°C, creating generally stable flying conditions.
Notable Features
The airport's single runway 11/29 is 6,998 feet long with an asphalt surface, positioned to take advantage of the predictable northwest wind pattern. The local geography includes coastal terrain, with the airport situated near the convergence of the Pacific Ocean and Gulf of California, which can create localized wind variations despite generally stable conditions.
Approach Considerations
Runway 11/29 demonstrates exceptional wind alignment, with favorable wind conditions 100% of the time and an average crosswind of only 3.7 knots. Pilots can expect optimal VFR conditions, particularly during January, November, and December, with consistent visibility averaging 9.5 statute miles and minimal instances of reduced visibility.
