About Mashhad International Airport

Overview

Mashhad International Airport serves as a critical aviation hub in northeastern Iran, located in the city of Mashhad at an elevation of 3,263 feet mean sea level. The airport features two substantial parallel asphalt runways capable of handling large aircraft operations, with runway lengths of 12,503 feet (13L/31R) and 12,877 feet (13R/31L).

Flying Conditions

The high elevation at 3,263 feet MSL and geographical location will impact aircraft performance, particularly during temperature variations. Pilots should anticipate potential density altitude effects that could influence takeoff and landing distances, especially during warmer seasonal periods.

Notable Features

Mashhad International Airport's dual parallel runways provide operational flexibility for aircraft movements and accommodate different wind conditions. The substantial runway lengths support wide-body and long-haul aircraft operations, with both runways constructed of asphalt surface material.

Approach Considerations

Runway orientation of 13/31 suggests prevailing wind considerations for approach and departure planning. The extended runway lengths of over 12,500 feet provide significant operational margins for various aircraft types, allowing for diverse approach and landing scenarios.
