About Bushehr Airport

Overview

Bushehr Airport serves the coastal city of Bushehr in southern Iran, situated along the Persian Gulf. As a medium-sized airport with two parallel asphalt runways each measuring approximately 14,600 feet, the airport supports regional and potentially international commercial and military aviation operations.

Flying Conditions

Pilots can expect predominantly favorable VFR conditions, with 61.3% of observations showing good visual flight rules and an additional 28.6% in marginal VFR. Temperature variations range from 7°C to 38°C, with an average of 23.1°C, and wind conditions typically from the north at an average of 7 knots, rarely exceeding 31 knots. September, October, and January present the most consistently favorable flying conditions.

Notable Features

Located at 68 feet mean sea level with coordinates 28.944799, 50.834599, Bushehr Airport has two parallel runways aligned 13L/31R and 13R/31L. Both runways demonstrate 100% favorable wind conditions with a minimal average crosswind of 3.4 knots, providing predictable and stable approach and departure environments for pilots.

Approach Considerations

With exceptional visibility averaging 10 statute miles and extremely rare instances of reduced visibility (only 0.2% fog reports), pilots can anticipate clear approach conditions. The consistent northern wind patterns and dual parallel runways offer flexibility in runway selection, with negligible crosswind challenges that should not significantly impact standard approach procedures.
