About Cà Mau Airport

Overview

Cà Mau Airport serves the southernmost region of Vietnam, located in Ca Mau City within the Mekong Delta province. As a medium airport positioned at 6 feet above mean sea level, it provides critical regional transportation infrastructure for Ca Mau Province. The airport supports local and regional aviation needs with its single asphalted runway.

Flying Conditions

The airport's low elevation of 6 ft MSL indicates a flat terrain environment typical of the Mekong Delta region. Pilots should anticipate potential high humidity and variable wind conditions common to coastal delta areas. The single runway (09/27) measuring 4,921 feet offers moderate operational capabilities for medium-sized aircraft.

Notable Features

Cà Mau Airport is situated in a geographically low-lying area with coordinates of 9.177667, 105.177778, representing the extreme southern point of Vietnam. The airport's proximity to the coastline suggests potential for rapid weather changes and marine atmospheric influences. The asphalted runway provides stable surface conditions for aircraft operations.

Approach Considerations

The runway's 09/27 orientation suggests potential crosswind considerations during approaches. Given the airport's coastal delta location, pilots should be prepared for potential visibility and wind shifts. The 4,921-foot runway length accommodates medium-sized aircraft with moderate operational flexibility.
