About Hamad International Airport

Overview

Hamad International Airport serves as the primary international gateway for Qatar, located in Doha at coordinates 25.273056, 51.608056. As a large airport situated near sea level at 13 ft MSL, it provides critical aviation infrastructure for the Gulf region's commercial and cargo operations.

Flying Conditions

The airport's low elevation of 13 ft MSL suggests minimal terrain-related atmospheric variations, with generally stable sea-level meteorological conditions. Given its coastal location, pilots should anticipate potential maritime influence on local weather patterns, including potential visibility and wind considerations.

Notable Features

The airport features two substantial parallel runways: 16L/34R at 15,912 ft and 16R/34L at 13,944 ft, both constructed of asphalt. These long runways accommodate wide-body international aircraft and provide operational flexibility for various aircraft types and weights.

Approach Considerations

Runway orientation (16/34) indicates potential crosswind scenarios, with parallel runways allowing wind-adaptive approach strategies. The substantial runway lengths provide extensive landing and takeoff options, supporting safe operations across diverse aircraft performance envelopes.
