About Darbhanga Airport

Overview

Darbhanga Airport serves the Darbhanga region in Bihar, India, positioned at coordinates 26.192801, 85.916901. As a medium airport with an elevation of 156 feet mean sea level, it provides critical transportation infrastructure for the northeastern Bihar area. The airport supports regional connectivity and serves as an important transportation hub for local commercial and potentially military aviation operations.

Flying Conditions

Located at a relatively low elevation of 156 ft MSL, Darbhanga Airport experiences typical north Indian plains climate with significant seasonal temperature variations. Pilots should anticipate potential monsoon-related weather challenges during June through September, which can impact visibility and surface conditions. The airport's geographic position suggests potential thermal and convective activity during pre-monsoon and summer months.

Notable Features

The airport features a single runway (10/28) with a substantial 9000-foot concrete surface, accommodating medium-sized aircraft operations. Its low elevation and plains environment suggest minimal terrain-induced turbulence or complex wind patterns. The runway orientation (10/28) indicates a predominantly east-west alignment, which may influence approach and departure strategies based on prevailing wind conditions.

Approach Considerations

Runway 10/28's extended 9000-foot concrete surface provides generous landing and takeoff capabilities for most regional aircraft types. Pilots should carefully assess wind direction when selecting runway, considering the east-west orientation. The airport's low elevation and flat surrounding terrain should provide relatively straightforward approach and landing conditions with minimal geographic interference.
