About Lanai Airport
Overview
Lanai Airport serves Lanai Island, located in the Hawaiian archipelago, providing critical transportation infrastructure for this small, remote community. As a medium-sized airport situated at 1308 ft MSL, it supports essential inter-island connectivity and local aviation needs in the Hawaiian island chain.
Flying Conditions
The airport experiences predominantly VFR conditions 64.9% of the time, with MVFR conditions occurring in 25% of observations. Prevailing northeast winds at an average of 8.3 knots characterize the airport's wind profile, with temperature ranges between 13°C and 29°C creating generally stable atmospheric conditions.
Notable Features
Lanai Airport's single runway 03/21 is 5001 feet long with an asphalt surface, oriented to accommodate the consistent northeast wind patterns. The airport's elevated position at 1308 ft MSL and its geographic location contribute to relatively stable visibility averaging 9.8 statute miles, with minimal instances of reduced visibility.
Approach Considerations
Runway 03/21 demonstrates 100% favorable wind conditions, with an average crosswind of just 3.8 knots. Pilots can expect optimal VFR flying conditions during November, January, and October, with consistent wind patterns from the northeast facilitating predictable approach and departure scenarios.
