About Songkhla Airport

Overview

Songkhla Airport serves the southern Thai province of Songkhla, located near the city of Hat Yai. Situated at a low elevation of 12 feet MSL, this medium-sized airport provides regional aviation connectivity in a strategically important part of southern Thailand.

Flying Conditions

The airport's low elevation and coastal location suggest potential for variable wind and humidity conditions typical of southern Thailand's tropical climate. Pilots should anticipate potential seasonal weather variations that could impact approach and departure procedures, particularly during monsoon periods.

Notable Features

The airport features a single runway (13/31) measuring 4,954 feet long with an asphalt surface. Its geographic coordinates at 7.186560, 100.608002 place it in a relatively flat coastal region, which should provide relatively straightforward terrain navigation for incoming and outgoing aircraft.

Approach Considerations

Runway 13/31's orientation suggests potential crosswind considerations during approach and landing. Pilots should review current wind conditions and be prepared to adjust landing techniques accordingly, paying particular attention to wind direction and potential turbulence related to the coastal environment.
