About Matane Airport

Overview

Matane Airport serves the Gaspésie–Îles-de-la-Madeleine region in Quebec, Canada, located along the Saint Lawrence River's south shore. As a medium-sized airport with an elevation of 102 feet MSL, it provides critical aviation infrastructure for regional transportation and potential emergency services in this coastal area.

Flying Conditions

The airport's location near the Gulf of St. Lawrence suggests potential maritime weather influences, including variable wind conditions and potential low visibility scenarios. Pilots should anticipate seasonal temperature variations typical of the Quebec maritime climate, which can significantly impact aircraft performance and approach conditions.

Notable Features

The single runway (09/27) measures 5,500 feet in length and is constructed with an asphalt surface, suitable for medium-sized aircraft operations. Its geographic coordinates at 48.856899, -67.453300 place the airport in a coastal terrain environment with potential terrain and wind considerations during approach and departure.

Approach Considerations

Runway 09/27's orientation suggests potential crosswind challenges, particularly given the coastal location. Pilots should carefully assess wind direction and velocity during preflight planning, recognizing that the runway's length provides reasonable operational flexibility for most medium-sized aircraft.
