About Gwalior Airport

Overview

Gwalior Airport serves the city of Gwalior in Madhya Pradesh, India, functioning as a medium-sized airport at 617 feet above mean sea level. Located at coordinates 26.293301, 78.227798, the airport provides critical aviation infrastructure for the region's transportation needs.

Flying Conditions

Central Indian climate produces significant seasonal variations in weather conditions for pilots operating at Gwalior Airport. Temperature and wind patterns can dramatically change between summer and winter months, potentially impacting aircraft performance and approach strategies.

Notable Features

The airport features a single concrete runway (06/24) with a substantial 9000-foot length, accommodating a wide range of aircraft types. Its elevation of 617 feet MSL indicates a relatively low-altitude environment with potential implications for density altitude calculations during high-temperature periods.

Approach Considerations

Runway 06/24's considerable 9000-foot concrete surface provides flexibility for most aircraft categories during approach and landing. Prevailing wind directions should be carefully assessed during pre-flight planning, as they can significantly influence landing and takeoff procedures at this central Indian airport location.

Data Sources & Accuracy: Airport information sourced from OurAirports.com, a collaborative database of worldwide airport data. Weather data from official aviation weather services including NOAA Aviation Weather Center and international METAR/TAF providers. Information is updated regularly but pilots should always verify current conditions and NOTAMs through official channels before flight operations.
