About Turbat International Airport

Overview

Turbat International Airport serves the urban center of Turbat in Pakistan's Balochistan province. As a medium-sized airport with an elevation of 498 feet above mean sea level, it provides critical aviation infrastructure for regional transportation and potential military/civilian operations in southwestern Pakistan.

Flying Conditions

Situated at coordinates 25.986401, 63.030201, the airport experiences typical arid climate conditions characteristic of Balochistan. Pilots should anticipate potential thermal variations and potential wind shifts due to the region's desert terrain and proximity to coastal influences.

Notable Features

The airport features a single runway (08L/26R) with an asphalt surface measuring 6,000 feet in length. Its geographical positioning suggests potential challenges related to desert environmental conditions, including potential dust/sand interaction with aircraft operations.

Approach Considerations

Runway 08L/26R provides a standard approach orientation with approximately 6,000 feet of usable surface. Pilots should be prepared for potential crosswind scenarios and carefully review current meteorological conditions prior to approach, given the airport's regional desert environment.
