About Aqaba King Hussein International Airport
Overview
Aqaba King Hussein International Airport serves the southern Jordanian city of Aqaba, located near the Red Sea. The airport is a medium-sized facility positioned at 175 feet above mean sea level, with coordinates that place it in a strategic regional transportation hub. Its single runway (01/19) provides 9,855 feet of asphalted surface for commercial and general aviation operations.
Flying Conditions
Meteorological data indicates highly favorable VFR conditions, with 71.8% of observations showing marginal VFR and 25.1% presenting clear VFR conditions. Wind patterns are predominantly from the north at an average of 9.6 knots, with maximum recorded speeds of 26 knots. Temperature variations are significant, ranging from 7°C to 40°C, with an average of 22.9°C, suggesting potential thermal considerations for flight planning.
Notable Features
The airport's geographical location near the Red Sea and regional terrain suggests potential for complex local wind patterns and thermal interactions. Its elevation of 175 feet MSL indicates a relatively low-altitude environment with minimal terrain challenges. The consistent northerly winds and wide runway provide stable approach and departure conditions for most aircraft operations.
Approach Considerations
Runway 01/19 demonstrates exceptional wind alignment, with 100% favorable wind coverage and a minimal average crosswind component of 2.8 knots. Pilots can expect optimal VFR conditions during September, October, and December, with consistently high visibility averaging 10 statute miles. The runway's substantial 9,855-foot length accommodates a wide range of aircraft types with ample landing and takeoff performance margins.
