The airport sits at an elevation of 26 feet mean sea level.

Flying Conditions

The airport's coastal location near the Persian Gulf suggests potential for variable wind conditions typical of maritime environments. With an elevation of only 26 ft MSL, pilots can expect minimal terrain-related altitude challenges. Seasonal variations in temperature and humidity are common in this region and may impact aircraft performance.

The substantial runway length provides flexibility for a variety of aircraft types and operational requirements. Its medium airport classification indicates capabilities for regional and commercial aviation activities.

Approach Considerations

The runway orientation of 17/35 suggests potential crosswind scenarios depending on prevailing meteorological conditions. Pilots should anticipate potential wind shifts given the airport's proximity to coastal geographical features. Standard instrument approach procedures will be applicable for this airport's elevation and runway configuration.
