About Barisal Airport

Overview

Barisal Airport serves the southeastern Bangladesh city of Barisal, located in the Barishal Division. As a medium-sized airport positioned at 23 feet above mean sea level, it provides essential regional connectivity in this riverine coastal region. The airport supports commercial and potential military aviation operations in this strategically important part of Bangladesh.

Flying Conditions

The airport's low elevation of 23 ft MSL indicates a flat terrain environment typical of the Bangladesh coastal plain. Pilots should anticipate potential humidity and monsoon-related weather variations, which can significantly impact visibility and wind conditions. The single asphalt runway (17/35) measuring 5,995 feet provides reasonable operational flexibility for medium-sized aircraft.

Notable Features

Positioned at coordinates 22.801001, 90.301201, Barisal Airport is situated in a low-lying deltaic region characterized by numerous rivers and waterways. The surrounding landscape features minimal elevation changes, which generally translates to predictable terrain approaches. Pilots should be prepared for potential localized weather shifts common in coastal Bangladesh.

Approach Considerations

The runway's 17/35 orientation suggests potential wind alignment challenges depending on seasonal prevailing wind directions. With a substantial runway length of 5,995 feet, the airport can accommodate most regional commercial and utility aircraft. Standard instrument approach procedures would be recommended given the airport's geographical location and potential meteorological variabilities.
