About Jijel Ferhat Abbas Airport
Overview
Jijel Ferhat Abbas Airport serves the coastal region of northeastern Algeria, situated in the Tahir district. Located at an elevation of 36 ft MSL, this medium-sized airport provides essential aviation infrastructure for the Jijel province. The airport's single runway (17/35) spans 7,874 feet with an asphalt surface, supporting regional and potentially some commercial aviation operations.
Flying Conditions
The airport experiences predominantly favorable Visual Flight Rules (VFR) conditions, with 90.6% of observed weather supporting VFR operations. Wind patterns are consistently from the south (180°), averaging 4.7 knots with occasional peaks up to 23 knots. Temperature variations range from 4°C to 34°C, with an average of 17°C, suggesting relatively stable thermal conditions for most of the year.
Notable Features
Positioned at coordinates 36.795101, 5.873610, the airport is located in a coastal region with potential maritime atmospheric influences. The runway alignment (17/35) suggests good wind coverage, with 100% favorable wind conditions and minimal average crosswind of 2.3 knots. Seasonal patterns indicate optimal VFR flying conditions during autumn months, particularly September, October, and November.
Approach Considerations
Pilots can expect consistently good visibility, with an average of 10 statute miles and minimal instances of reduced visibility. The runway's orientation and wind characteristics suggest minimal wind-related approach complications. Autumn months provide the most reliable flying conditions, with high probability of VFR operations and stable meteorological parameters.
