About General Heriberto Jara International Airport
Overview
General Heriberto Jara International Airport serves the coastal city of Veracruz, Mexico, operating as a medium-sized international airport. Located at an elevation of 90 feet MSL, the airport provides critical air transportation infrastructure for the Veracruz region. Its two asphalt runways support diverse aviation operations, with runway lengths of 4,997 and 7,874 feet.
Flying Conditions
Pilots can expect predominantly VFR conditions, with 58.6% of observations reporting visual flight rules and an additional 37.7% in marginal VFR. Wind patterns are consistently northerly at an average of 5.7 knots, with occasional peaks up to 20 knots and calm conditions 21.7% of the time. Temperature variations range from 13°C to 33°C, with an average of 25.4°C, creating generally stable flying conditions.
Notable Features
The airport's dual runway configuration provides operational flexibility, with both runways 09/27 and 19/01 demonstrating 100% favorable wind alignment. Crosswind components are minimal, averaging 4.4 knots for runway 09/27 and 2.7 knots for runway 19/01. Visibility averages 6 statute miles, with only 3.3% of observations reporting visibility below 3 miles.
Approach Considerations
September through November represent the airport's best VFR months, offering optimal flying conditions. Both runways provide excellent wind coverage, with the longer 7,874-foot runway (19/01) offering extended landing capabilities. Pilots should anticipate consistent northerly winds and prepare for generally stable weather patterns typical of the Veracruz coastal environment.
