About Imphal Airport

Overview

Imphal Airport serves the capital city of Manipur in northeastern India, situated at an elevation of 2,540 feet MSL. The medium-sized airport supports regional and domestic aviation operations in a geographically challenging mountainous terrain. Its single runway (04/22) provides a substantial 9,009-foot asphalt surface for aircraft operations.

Flying Conditions

Weather conditions at Imphal demonstrate significant variability, with MVFR conditions predominating at 56.8% of observations. Pilots can expect moderate meteorological challenges, with IFR conditions present 35.4% of the time. Temperature ranges from 6°C to 33°C, with an average of 21.6°C, and prevailing southerly winds averaging 3.2 knots.

Notable Features

The airport is located in a mountainous region with complex terrain, which can create unique aerodynamic challenges for pilots. Elevation at 2,540 feet MSL impacts aircraft performance, particularly during warmer conditions. The surrounding geography likely contributes to the variable weather patterns observed in the METAR data.

Approach Considerations

Runway 04/22 benefits from highly favorable wind conditions, with 100% wind alignment and minimal average crosswind of 1.9 knots. Visibility averages 10 statute miles, with minimal occurrences of restricted visibility. January, September, and October represent the most consistently favorable VFR months for flight operations.
