About Kandla Airport

Overview

Kandla Airport serves the industrial region of Gujarat, located near the Gulf of Kachchh in western India. Situated at an elevation of 96 feet above mean sea level, the airport supports regional commercial and cargo operations in this strategically important maritime and industrial zone.

Flying Conditions

The airport experiences a typical tropical maritime climate with significant seasonal wind variations. Winds predominantly favor runway 05/23, which is a 4,997-foot concrete runway capable of supporting medium-sized aircraft operations.

Notable Features

Kandla Airport is positioned in a coastal area with relatively flat terrain, offering straightforward approach and departure paths. The airport's geographic location near major industrial ports provides strategic importance for regional transportation and logistics networks.

Approach Considerations

The single runway (05/23) suggests that pilots should anticipate wind-based runway selection based on prevailing conditions. With the runway's substantial 4,997-foot length, most medium-sized aircraft can operate comfortably within the available pavement length.
