About Rajiv Gandhi International Airport

Overview

Rajiv Gandhi International Airport (VOHS) serves as a major aviation hub located in Hyderabad, India. Situated at an elevation of 2,024 feet mean sea level, the airport features two substantial asphalt runways capable of handling large commercial aircraft operations. Its strategic location and substantial runway infrastructure make it a key transportation gateway for the Telangana region.

Flying Conditions

The airport's elevation at 2,024 feet MSL indicates a moderate terrain environment that can influence aircraft performance and approach characteristics. With two parallel runways measuring 12,162 feet and 13,976 feet respectively, the airport provides significant operational flexibility for various aircraft types and meteorological conditions. Pilots should anticipate potential thermal variations typical of the region's subtropical climate.

Notable Features

Positioned at coordinates 17.231318, 78.429855, the airport is situated in a relatively flat geographical area with minimal immediate terrain challenges. The dual parallel runway configuration (09L/27R and 09R/27L) allows for simultaneous operations and provides wind flexibility during approach and departure procedures. This runway layout enables enhanced operational efficiency and increased airport capacity.

Approach Considerations

The parallel runway system allows for versatile approach options depending on prevailing wind conditions. With both runways constructed of asphalt and measuring over 12,000 feet in length, the airport can accommodate a wide range of aircraft types, from regional jets to wide-body international carriers. Pilots should conduct standard terrain and wind assessments when planning approaches to VOHS.
