About Sabera Geneina Airport

Overview

Sabera Geneina Airport serves the western Sudanese city of Geneina in West Darfur state. Located at coordinates 13.477400, 22.537220, the airport is a medium-sized facility situated at an elevation of 2633 feet above mean sea level. The airport provides critical transportation infrastructure for the region, supporting regional and potentially humanitarian flight operations.

Flying Conditions

The airport's elevation at 2633 feet MSL indicates a moderate terrain environment that can impact aircraft performance. Pilots should anticipate potential density altitude variations depending on temperature and local atmospheric conditions. The single asphalt runway (04/22) measuring 9829 feet provides substantial operational flexibility for most medium-sized aircraft.

Notable Features

Geneina Airport features a single runway oriented at 04/22, which suggests the primary wind alignment follows a roughly northeast-southwest direction. The extensive runway length of 9829 feet allows for operations of relatively large aircraft and provides significant safety margins for landing and takeoff. The airport's location in West Darfur implies potential challenging regional terrain and meteorological conditions.

Approach Considerations

Runway 04/22's substantial length enables versatile approach options with significant operational margins. Pilots should conduct standard terrain and approach assessments, particularly noting the airport's elevation and potential regional wind patterns. Standard instrument approach procedures and terrain avoidance protocols are recommended given the geographic location.
