About Jaisalmer Airport
Overview
Jaisalmer Airport serves the desert region of Rajasthan, located in northwestern India. As a medium airport situated at 751 feet above mean sea level, it provides critical aviation infrastructure in a geographically challenging desert environment.
Flying Conditions
The airport's elevated position at 751 ft MSL suggests potential thermal and wind variation typical of desert terrain. Pilots should anticipate potential temperature-related performance considerations, particularly during summer months when desert temperatures can significantly impact aircraft operations.
Notable Features
The airport features a substantial 9000-foot concrete runway (04/22), which provides ample length for most medium-sized aircraft operations. Its geographic location in the Thar Desert presents unique navigational challenges with potential wind shear and dust/sand interaction during certain seasonal conditions.
Approach Considerations
Runway 04/22 offers a long, concrete surface aligned approximately northeast/southwest, which likely corresponds to prevailing regional wind patterns. Given the runway's length and orientation, pilots should prepare for potential crosswind conditions typical of desert airport environments.
