About Nal Airport
Overview
Nal Airport serves the city of Bikaner in Rajasthan, India, functioning as a medium-sized airport at an elevation of 750 feet above mean sea level. Located at coordinates 28.070601, 73.207199, the airport provides critical aviation infrastructure for the northwestern region of India.
Flying Conditions
Bikaner's desert climate typically presents hot and dry conditions that can significantly impact aircraft performance, especially during summer months. Pilots should anticipate potential thermal variations and potential crosswind conditions given the airport's open terrain and single runway configuration.
Notable Features
