About Khajuraho Airport

Overview

Khajuraho Airport serves the historic UNESCO World Heritage site region in Madhya Pradesh, India.

The airport supports regional and limited commercial aviation operations for Khajuraho and surrounding Chhatarpur District.

Flying Conditions

The airport sits at an elevation of 728 feet mean sea level, which contributes to generally stable atmospheric conditions typical of central Indian terrain. Pilots can expect moderate temperature variations between seasonal periods, with potential thermal variations affecting aircraft performance. Local meteorological patterns should be carefully assessed during pre-flight planning.

Notable Features

The single runway 01/19 measures 7,460 feet in length and is constructed with asphalt surface. Its substantial length provides operational flexibility for most regional and medium-sized aircraft types. The surrounding terrain appears relatively flat, consistent with the Bundelkhand regional geographical characteristics.

Approach Considerations

Runway 01/19 offers a standard orientation that likely aligns with predominant regional wind patterns. Pilots should conduct thorough wind assessments during approach and be prepared for potential crosswind conditions. Standard instrument approach procedures and visual navigation techniques applicable to medium-elevation airports in central India will be most relevant.
