About Volgograd International Airport

Overview

Volgograd International Airport serves the major city of Volgograd in southwestern Russia, positioned along the Volga River. As a medium-sized airport with multiple runways, it supports regional and international commercial aviation operations. The airport's elevation of 482 ft MSL and strategic location make it an important transportation hub for the region.

Flying Conditions

Weather conditions at Volgograd are characterized by significantly challenging visibility, with low instrument flight rules (LIFR) conditions dominating 59.9% of observations. Temperature ranges widely from -20°C to 29°C, presenting potential thermal and icing considerations for pilots. September and October offer the most favorable visual flight conditions, with reduced frequency of low visibility and fog events.

Notable Features

The airport features four runways with varying surface compositions: two concrete (CON), one asphalt (ASP), and two grass (GRS) surfaces. The primary runway (05/23) is 9,186 feet long, providing substantial landing and takeoff capabilities for most commercial and regional aircraft. The airport's geographical positioning suggests potential for variable wind conditions, though specific wind data in the provided statistics appears incomplete.

Approach Considerations

Pilots should anticipate potential low visibility challenges, with fog present in 37.6% of observations and significant LIFR conditions. Multiple runway orientations (05/23, 08/26, 11/29, 11R/29L) offer operational flexibility for approach and departure procedures. The diverse runway surfaces and lengths provide options for different aircraft types and meteorological conditions.
