About Gorakhpur Airport
Overview
Gorakhpur Airport serves the northeastern Uttar Pradesh region, situated in the city of Gorakhpur at 26.7397°N latitude and 83.4497°E longitude. The airport operates as a medium-sized facility with a single runway capable of handling various aircraft types. Its strategic location provides essential transportation infrastructure for this populous agricultural and industrial region.
Flying Conditions
Located at 259 feet mean sea level, Gorakhpur experiences a subtropical climate with significant seasonal temperature variations. Pilots should anticipate potential thermal activity and localized weather shifts typical of the Gangetic plain region. Humidity levels can be high, particularly during monsoon seasons, which may impact aircraft performance and visibility.
Notable Features
The airport features a primary runway 11/29 measuring 9,000 feet in length with a PEM (Permanent Engineered Material) surface. Its relatively flat surrounding terrain and moderate elevation provide generally stable approach conditions. The airport's geographical position near the Nepal border offers unique regional connectivity for both civilian and potential military aviation operations.
Approach Considerations
Runway 11/29 provides a substantial 9,000-foot length, allowing comfortable operational margins for most medium-sized aircraft. Prevailing winds and local topography will influence standard approach vectors, with pilots advised to review current meteorological data before arrival. Standard instrument approach procedures should be consulted for precise navigational guidance specific to current conditions.
