Kanpur Airport serves the industrial city of Kanpur in Uttar Pradesh, India, supporting regional commercial and potential military aviation operations. Located at coordinates 26.404301, 80.410103, the airport provides critical transportation infrastructure for the northern Indian urban center.

Flying Conditions

Situated at an elevation of 410 feet mean sea level, Kanpur Airport experiences typical subtropical weather patterns with significant seasonal temperature variations. Pilots should anticipate potential thermal turbulence and changing wind conditions, particularly during transitional months between monsoon and dry seasons.

Notable Features

The airport features a substantial concrete runway (09/27) measuring 9,000 feet in length, accommodating medium-sized aircraft operations. Its geographical positioning in the Gangetic Plains suggests relatively flat terrain surrounding the airport, with minimal immediate topographical challenges for approach and departure.

Approach Considerations

Runway 09/27's extended length provides flexibility for various aircraft types and operational requirements. Prevailing wind patterns will influence runway selection, with pilots recommended to assess current meteorological conditions for optimal approach and landing strategies.
