About José Martí International Airport

Overview

José Martí International Airport serves as the primary international airport for Havana, Cuba, and is a critical aviation hub for the Caribbean region. Located at coordinates 22.989201, -82.409103, the airport operates at an elevation of 210 feet above mean sea level and supports large commercial and international air traffic.

Flying Conditions

Situated in a tropical maritime climate, the airport experiences consistent weather patterns typical of the Caribbean, with potential for rapid meteorological changes. Pilots should anticipate potential thunderstorm activity and seasonal wind variations that can impact flight operations on the 13,123-foot asphalt runway.

Notable Features

The airport's single runway (06/24) provides substantial operational flexibility with its extensive 13,123-foot length, accommodating large commercial aircraft. Its geographical position near Havana creates a dynamic operational environment with potential urban thermal effects and coastal wind interactions.

Approach Considerations

Runway 06/24's extended length allows for diverse approach strategies with significant margin for error. Pilots should remain attentive to potential crosswind conditions given the airport's coastal location, and be prepared to adjust approach profiles accordingly based on prevailing wind directions.
