About Ayatollah Hashemi Rafsanjani International Airport

Overview

Ayatollah Hashemi Rafsanjani International Airport serves the Kerman region in Iran as a medium-sized international airport. Located at an elevation of 5,741 feet MSL, the airport provides critical aviation infrastructure for the southeastern part of the country. Its two parallel asphalt runways, each approximately 12,600 feet long, support a range of commercial and potentially military aviation operations.

Flying Conditions

The airport experiences predominantly VFR conditions, with 96.1% of observations indicating favorable visual flying weather. Temperature variations are significant, ranging from -10°C to 36°C, with an average of 13.9°C. Wind patterns are characterized by a northerly prevailing direction at an average of 5.8 knots, with occasional gusts up to 27 knots and calm conditions 13.7% of the time.

Notable Features

Situated at a high elevation of 5,741 feet, the airport presents potential performance considerations for aircraft operations. Both parallel runways (16L/34R and 16R/34L) demonstrate 100% favorable wind alignment, with consistent average crosswind conditions of 3.6 knots. The airport's geographic position suggests potential terrain interactions that pilots should consider during approach and departure.

Approach Considerations

October, November, and September represent the most favorable VFR months for operations. The parallel runway configuration allows for flexible approach options, with consistent wind characteristics supporting predictable landing and takeoff conditions. Pilots should note the high elevation and prepare accordingly for potential performance limitations, particularly during temperature extremes.
