About Tinian International Airport
Overview
Tinian International Airport serves the island of Tinian in the Northern Mariana Islands, located in the western Pacific Ocean. As a medium-sized airport with a single runway (08/26) measuring 8,600 feet, it provides critical aviation infrastructure for this remote island location. The airport sits at an elevation of 271 feet above mean sea level.
Flying Conditions
The airport experiences extremely consistent visual flight rules (VFR) conditions, with 99.2% of observations reporting VFR weather. Winds predominantly blow from the east at an average of 8.5 knots, with temperatures ranging between 25°C and 33°C. October, November, and December represent the most favorable months for VFR flying, characterized by stable weather patterns.
Notable Features
Tinian Island's geographic position in the Pacific creates unique meteorological conditions, with minimal weather variability. The airport's runway is positioned to take full advantage of the consistent easterly winds, which align favorably 100% of the time. Crosswind components remain minimal, averaging just 1.8 knots across the runway.
Approach Considerations
Pilots can expect highly predictable approach conditions with excellent visibility averaging 7 statute miles. The prevailing easterly winds strongly favor runway 08 for landing and takeoff. With no reported instances of IFR or low IFR conditions, visual approaches are standard, and instrument-based procedures are rarely required.
