Situated at an elevation of 15 feet above mean sea level, the airport provides critical transportation infrastructure for the regional area with its two substantial asphalt runways.
Flying Conditions
Being a coastal airport, Visakhapatnam experiences maritime weather influences with potential variations in visibility and wind conditions.

Notable Features
The airport's geographic coordinates at 17.723506, 83.227729 place it in a coastal region with potential maritime atmospheric interactions. The substantial length of the 10/28 runway (9996ft) indicates the airport can accommodate a wide range of aircraft types, from regional commuters to larger commercial aircraft.
Approach Considerations
Pilots should be prepared for potential coastal weather dynamics when approaching Visakhapatnam Airport. The two differently oriented runways offer strategic options for landing, with the longer 10/28 runway providing extended operational flexibility for diverse aircraft performance requirements.
