About Shah Mokhdum Airport

Overview

Shah Mokhdum Airport serves the Rajshahi region in Bangladesh as a medium-sized airport at 64 feet above mean sea level. Located at coordinates 24.437201, 88.616501, the airport provides essential aviation infrastructure for the northwestern part of the country, supporting regional transportation and connectivity.

Flying Conditions

Bangladesh's climate features significant seasonal variations, with monsoon periods potentially impacting airport operations. The airport's moderate elevation of 64 feet MSL suggests generally stable atmospheric conditions, though pilots should anticipate potential humidity and precipitation challenges during wet seasons.

Notable Features

The airport features a single runway (17/35) with an asphalt surface measuring 6,000 feet in length. Its geographic position in Rajshahi indicates a relatively flat terrain characteristic of Bangladesh's northwestern plains, which should provide consistent approach and departure environments.

Approach Considerations

Runway 17/35 offers a standard orientation that can accommodate varying wind directions. Pilots should conduct standard terrain and wind assessments during approach, paying particular attention to potential crosswind components given the runway's single directional configuration.
