About Ampara Airport

Overview

Ampara Airport serves the Ampara District in eastern Sri Lanka, positioned at coordinates 7.336745, 81.623869. As a medium-sized airport with an elevation of 150 feet above mean sea level, it provides essential regional aviation connectivity for the eastern provincial area.

Flying Conditions

The airport's relatively low elevation and tropical location suggest potential for high humidity and variable wind conditions. Pilots should anticipate typical Sri Lankan maritime climate characteristics, with potential for rapid weather transitions characteristic of coastal and near-coastal environments.

Notable Features

The airport features a single runway (07/25) with an asphalt surface measuring 3,600 feet in length. Its geographic position in eastern Sri Lanka indicates potential terrain variations and localized meteorological influences that pilots should carefully assess during pre-flight planning.

Approach Considerations

Runway 07/25's orientation suggests potential wind alignment considerations for approach and departure procedures. Pilots should carefully evaluate current wind conditions and runway length when planning operations, noting the 3,600-foot asphalt runway's operational limitations for different aircraft types.
