About Borj El Arab International Airport

Overview

Borj El Arab International Airport serves the Alexandria metropolitan area in Egypt, positioned at coordinates 30.932490, 29.696437. As a medium-sized airport with an elevation of 171 feet above mean sea level, it provides critical aviation infrastructure for regional transportation and connects the coastal region to broader transportation networks.

Flying Conditions

Located near the Mediterranean coast, the airport experiences typical Mediterranean climate conditions with potential maritime influence on weather patterns. The airport's elevation at 171 ft MSL suggests relatively stable atmospheric conditions without extreme terrain-related turbulence considerations.

Notable Features

The airport features three runways: a primary 11,156 ft asphalt runway (14/32), complemented by two shorter 1,347 ft asphalt runways (14R/32L and 14S/32S). This runway configuration provides operational flexibility for different aircraft types and wind conditions, allowing multiple approach and departure options.

Approach Considerations

With three runways aligned in the 14/32 orientation, pilots can select appropriate runway configurations based on prevailing wind conditions. The substantial primary runway length of 11,156 ft accommodates a wide range of aircraft types, offering considerable operational capabilities for commercial and regional aviation requirements.
