About Mataveri Airport
Overview
Mataveri Airport serves Isla De Pascua (Easter Island), located in the remote southeastern Pacific Ocean. The airport is a critical transportation infrastructure for this isolated Chilean territory, positioned at coordinates -27.164801, -109.421997 with an elevation of 227 feet above mean sea level. As a medium-sized airport, it provides essential connectivity to this historically and archaeologically significant island.
Flying Conditions
The airport experiences predominantly excellent visual flight conditions, with 90% of observations indicating VFR weather. Average temperatures range from 12°C to 28°C, with a mean of 20.9°C, providing generally stable atmospheric conditions. Winds are consistently from the east (90 degrees) at an average of 8.6 knots, with occasional stronger gusts up to 60 knots, though calm conditions occur 1.1% of the time.
Notable Features
Mataveri Airport features a single runway (10/28) stretching 10,827 feet with an asphalt surface, accommodating medium-sized aircraft. The island's isolated Pacific location means limited diversion options and potential for rapidly changing maritime weather patterns. Its geographic position requires pilots to be prepared for potential wind shifts and isolated weather developments typical of oceanic island environments.
Approach Considerations
Runway 10/28 offers favorable wind alignment 100% of the time, with an average crosswind component of only 3.8 knots. January, September, and November represent the most consistently favorable VFR months for operations. Pilots should anticipate excellent visibility, with an average of 10 statute miles and essentially zero instances of restricted visibility or fog.
