About Kadhdhoo Airport

Overview

Kadhdhoo Airport serves the Laamu Atoll region in the Maldives, providing essential transportation infrastructure for this island archipelago. Located at coordinates 1.859170, 73.521896, the airport supports regional connectivity with its medium-sized facilities and strategic positioning in the southern Maldivian island chain.

Flying Conditions

Situated at a low elevation of 4 ft mean sea level, Kadhdhoo Airport experiences typical tropical maritime weather conditions characteristic of the Maldives. Pilots should anticipate potential challenges from marine environments, including variable wind conditions and potential rapid weather transitions common to island locations.

Notable Features

The airport features a single runway (03/21) constructed with bituminous surface, measuring 4,003 feet in length. Its low elevation and island setting suggest potential wind variability and the need for careful wind assessment during approach and departure operations.

Approach Considerations

Runway 03/21 provides the primary approach avenue, with orientation aligned approximately north-northeast to south-southwest. Given the airport's coastal location, pilots should be prepared for potential crosswind conditions and exercise standard marine environment approach protocols.
