Kempegowda International Airport serves Bangalore, India's primary international gateway for commercial and cargo aviation. Located at 13.197900° N, 77.706299° E, this large airport sits at an elevation of 3000 feet mean sea level. The airport supports major international and domestic air traffic for India's technology hub.

Flying Conditions

Bangalore's airport experiences relatively stable atmospheric conditions at its 3000-foot elevation. The dual parallel runways (09L/27R and 09R/27L) each measure 13,123 feet in length, providing substantial operational flexibility for various aircraft types and weather scenarios. Pilots should anticipate typical tropical highland weather characteristics with potential seasonal wind variations.

Notable Features

The airport features two identically sized asphalt runways oriented in a 09/27 configuration, allowing for significant operational redundancy. Its elevation at 3000 feet MSL provides unique performance considerations for aircraft, particularly during takeoff and landing. The parallel runway arrangement enables simultaneous operations and enhanced airport capacity.

Approach Considerations

Runway 09 and 27 configurations offer landing options based on prevailing wind conditions. With both runways measuring 13,123 feet, aircraft have substantial landing and takeoff distances available. Pilots should carefully assess wind direction and runway selection to optimize approach and departure procedures.
