About Bandar Abbas International Airport
Overview
Bandar Abbas International Airport serves the strategic port city of Bandar Abbas in southern Iran, positioned near the Strait of Hormuz. Located at 22 feet above mean sea level, this medium-sized airport handles significant regional aviation traffic with two substantial asphalt runways capable of supporting diverse aircraft operations.
Flying Conditions
Meteorological observations indicate predominantly moderate visual flight conditions, with 51.1% MVFR and 23.7% VFR conditions. Wind patterns are consistently southern, averaging 6.5 knots with occasional gusts up to 27 knots. Temperature variations are substantial, ranging from 8°C to 40°C, with an average of 24.7°C, which pilots should consider for performance calculations.
Notable Features
The airport features two parallel runways: 03L/21R at 11,341 feet and 03R/21L at 12,008 feet, both with asphalt surfaces. Both runways demonstrate 100% favorable wind alignment and minimal average crosswind at 2.8 knots. The airport's coastal location near the Strait of Hormuz suggests potential maritime meteorological influences on local conditions.
Approach Considerations
November through January represent the most consistently favorable VFR months for operations. Visibility averages 10 statute miles with extremely rare instances of reduced visibility, and negligible fog occurrence (0.1%). Pilots can expect predictable wind conditions from the south, supporting stable approach and departure scenarios on either runway.
