About Aleppo International Airport

Overview

Aleppo International Airport serves the major urban center of Aleppo, Syria, positioned at an elevation of 1276 feet mean sea level. The airport supports medium-sized aviation operations with a single runway (09/27) measuring 9,547 feet in length, constructed with asphalt surfacing. Its strategic location in northern Syria provides critical transportation infrastructure for the region.

Flying Conditions

Weather observations indicate predominantly visual flight rule (VFR) conditions, with 63.6% of records showing clear flying conditions. Seasonal temperature variations are significant, ranging from -4°C to 38°C, with an average of 15.1°C. Wind patterns are consistently westerly at 270 degrees, averaging 5.7 knots with occasional gusts up to 36 knots, making September through November the most stable flying months.

Notable Features

The airport's single runway (09/27) demonstrates favorable wind alignment, with 100% compatible wind conditions. Crosswind components average only 2.3 knots, suggesting relatively straightforward landing and takeoff scenarios. Visibility is typically excellent, with an average of 10 statute miles and minimal instances of restricted visibility.

Approach Considerations

Pilots can expect generally stable approach conditions, particularly during early autumn months when meteorological parameters are most consistent. The runway's length and asphalt surface provide substantial operational flexibility. With only 4.4% of observations reporting fog and negligible low IFR conditions, instrument approaches should be predictable under most circumstances.
