About Asosa Airport
Overview
Asosa Airport serves the regional transportation needs in western Ethiopia, located at coordinates 10.018500, 34.586300. As a medium airport situated at an elevation of 5100 feet mean sea level, it provides critical aviation infrastructure for the Asosa area and surrounding Benishangul-Gumuz Region.
Flying Conditions
The airport's high elevation at 5100 ft MSL indicates potential performance considerations for aircraft, particularly during takeoff and landing. Pilots should anticipate reduced engine and aerodynamic performance due to the airport's significant altitude above sea level, which can impact aircraft weight and operational capabilities.
Notable Features
The airport features a single runway (11/29) with an asphalted surface measuring 8218 feet in length. This substantial runway length provides flexibility for various aircraft types and operational requirements, accommodating most regional and medium-sized aircraft within the airport's classification.
Approach Considerations
Runway 11/29 offers a standard directional orientation that allows pilots flexibility based on prevailing wind conditions. The extensive 8218-foot runway provides significant margin for approach and landing, with ample space to support safe aircraft operations at the airport's elevated terrain.
