About Battambang Airport

Overview

Battambang Airport serves the northwestern Cambodian city of Battambang, located at coordinates 13.095600, 103.223999. As a medium-sized airport situated at 59 feet above mean sea level, it provides essential regional aviation infrastructure for Battambang Province. The airport supports various aviation operations with its single runway configuration.

Flying Conditions

Northwestern Cambodia experiences a tropical monsoon climate with distinct wet and dry seasons that significantly impact flying conditions. Pilots should anticipate potential seasonal weather variations affecting visibility and wind patterns around the airport's 59 ft elevation. Temperature and humidity can fluctuate considerably throughout the year, potentially influencing aircraft performance.

Notable Features

The airport features a single runway (07/25) with an asphalted surface measuring 5,250 feet in length. Its relatively low elevation of 59 ft MSL suggests a flat surrounding terrain typical of northwestern Cambodian landscapes. The runway orientation indicates potential crosswind considerations during approach and departure phases.

Approach Considerations

Runway 07/25 provides directional flexibility for arrivals and departures based on prevailing wind conditions. Pilots should carefully assess wind direction and strength when selecting runway orientation, considering the 5,250-foot runway length and potential seasonal meteorological variations. Standard approach procedures should account for the airport's modest elevation and surrounding terrain characteristics.
