About Kailashahar Airport

Overview

Kailashahar Airport serves the northeastern region of India, located in the state of Tripura. Positioned at an elevation of 79 feet above mean sea level, this medium-sized airport provides critical transportation infrastructure for the Kailashahar area. The airport supports regional connectivity and serves as an important aviation facility in this part of northeastern India.

Flying Conditions

The airport's relatively low elevation at 79 ft MSL suggests generally mild terrain conditions for approach and departure. Being situated in northeastern India, the region experiences significant monsoon seasons which can impact flying conditions, particularly during summer months. Pilots should anticipate potential precipitation and reduced visibility during monsoon periods.

Notable Features

The airport features a single runway (03/21) with an asphalt surface measuring 3,300 feet in length. Its geographic coordinates at 24.308657, 92.007680 place it in a region characterized by undulating terrain typical of northeastern India. The moderate runway length is suitable for regional aircraft operations and supports connectivity for smaller commercial and utility aircraft.

Approach Considerations

Runway 03/21 provides a standard orientation that may offer variations in wind exposure depending on prevailing meteorological conditions. Pilots should conduct standard terrain and wind assessments during pre-flight planning, noting the airport's moderate elevation and potential regional wind patterns. Standard approach procedures consistent with regional Indian aviation protocols should be anticipated.
