About Dubai International Airport
Overview
Dubai International Airport (OMDB) is a major international aviation hub located in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. Situated at 62 feet above mean sea level with coordinates 25.252800, 55.364399, the airport serves as a critical gateway for international passenger and cargo operations in the Middle East region.
Flying Conditions
The airport's low elevation and coastal location create generally stable atmospheric conditions with minimal terrain-induced turbulence. Pilots should anticipate potential heat-related performance considerations, as Dubai's desert climate can produce high temperatures that impact aircraft operational parameters.
Notable Features
The airport features two substantial parallel runways: 12L/30R measuring 14,275 feet and 12R/30L measuring 14,590 feet, both constructed with asphalt surfaces. These extensive runway lengths provide significant operational flexibility for wide-body aircraft and accommodate the airport's high-volume international traffic.
Approach Considerations
The parallel runway configuration allows for simultaneous operations and provides wind flexibility, with runway headings of 120/300 degrees. Given the airport's coastal positioning, pilots should be prepared for potential crosswind conditions and consult current meteorological data for precise wind vector information during approach and landing.
