About Prayagraj Airport

Overview

Prayagraj Airport (VIAL) serves the urban region of Allahabad in Uttar Pradesh, India. Located at coordinates 25.440100, 81.733902, this medium-sized airport provides critical transportation infrastructure for the surrounding metropolitan area. The airport operates at an elevation of 322 feet above mean sea level.

Flying Conditions

The airport's mid-continental location suggests potential for variable weather conditions typical of central India, with significant seasonal temperature and wind shifts. Pilots should anticipate potential thermal activity and localized wind patterns given the airport's moderate elevation and regional geographic characteristics.

Notable Features

Prayagraj Airport features two runways with distinct surface compositions: Runway 06/24 is constructed of concrete and measures 4,800 feet in length, while Runway 12/30 is asphalted and significantly longer at 8,110 feet. The dual runway configuration provides operational flexibility and enhanced capability for different aircraft types and approach scenarios.

Approach Considerations

Runway orientation suggests potential crosswind challenges, particularly on the 06/24 heading. Pilots should carefully assess wind conditions and be prepared to utilize the longer 12/30 runway when operational and meteorological conditions recommend this approach. Careful attention to current wind vectors will be crucial for safe landing and takeoff procedures.
