About Île des Pins Airport

Overview

Île des Pins Airport serves the island community located in New Caledonia, situated approximately 100 kilometers southeast of Nouméa. As a medium-sized airport with an elevation of 315 feet above mean sea level, it provides critical transportation infrastructure for this Pacific island destination.

Flying Conditions

The airport's location in the South Pacific suggests variable tropical maritime weather conditions with potential for rapid changes. Pilots should anticipate potential wind variations given the island's coastal positioning, with the single runway (10/28) potentially experiencing crosswind components typical of island environments.

Notable Features

The airport features a 3,608-foot asphalted runway oriented 10/28, which is suitable for medium-sized aircraft operations. Its geographical coordinates (-22.588900, 167.455994) place it in a maritime setting with potential terrain and wind considerations typical of island airports.

Approach Considerations

Approach planning should account for the airport's moderate elevation and island terrain characteristics. Runway 10/28's length of 3,608 feet provides adequate landing distance for most regional and medium-sized aircraft, with approach considerations influenced by local topographical and wind conditions.
