About Port Stanley Airport
Port Stanley Airport, also known as Stanley Airport, is a small civil airport in the Falkland Islands, two miles from the capital, Stanley. The airport is the only civilian airport in the islands with a paved runway. The military airbase at RAF Mount Pleasant, located to the west of Stanley, functions as the islands' international airport, because it has a longer runway capable of handling wide-body aircraft, and allows civilian flights by prior permission from the UK Ministry of Defence (MoD). Port Stanley Airport is owned by the Government of the Falkland Islands, operated by the Falkland Islands Government Air Service, and is used for internal flights between the islands and flights between the Falklands and Antarctica. It has two asphalt-paved runways; its main runway 09/27 is 918 by 19 metres, and its secondary runway 18/36 is 338 metres long.
