John A. Osborne Airport lies in the tropics at 16.79° N, 62.19° W, on America/Montserrat time (UTC-4). Tropical airports contend with heat and humidity, both of which thin the air and lengthen takeoff runs, and with convective storms that build fast in the afternoon.
John A. Osborne Airport has 1 runway. The longest, 10/28, measures 1,968 ft, which puts the field in the short-field category: turboprops and light aircraft only. The surface is asphalt. None of them carry runway lighting, which restricts operations to daylight and good visibility.
