About Najran Domestic Airport
Overview
Najran Domestic Airport serves the Najran region in southern Saudi Arabia, positioned at an elevation of 3,982 feet mean sea level. The airport supports regional domestic flight operations with its single substantial asphalt runway measuring 10,007 feet in length. Located at coordinates 17.611401, 44.419201, the airport provides critical aviation infrastructure for this southeastern Saudi Arabian metropolitan area.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at Najran are predominantly favorable for visual flight operations, with 95.4% of observations supporting VFR conditions. The airport experiences consistent easterly winds averaging 4.2 knots, with maximum recorded speeds of 14 knots and calm periods occurring 16.7% of the time. Temperature ranges from 7°C to 38°C, with an average of 21.8°C, creating generally stable atmospheric conditions for flight operations.
Notable Features
The airport's high elevation of 3,982 feet requires careful performance calculations for aircraft, particularly during warmer periods. Runway 06/24 demonstrates wind alignment, with 100% favorable wind conditions and minimal average crosswind of 2.1 knots. The surrounding terrain likely includes the characteristic plateau and mountain landscapes of southern Saudi Arabia's mountainous regions.
Approach Considerations
Given the consistent easterly wind patterns, Runway 06/24 offers predictable approach conditions with minimal wind-related challenges. The lengthy 10,007-foot asphalt runway provides substantial landing and takeoff margins for most domestic aircraft types. Pilots should prioritize November, October, and December as months with optimal visual meteorological conditions based on historical data.
