About Erenhot Saiwusu International Airport
Overview
Erenhot Saiwusu International Airport serves the border region of Inner Mongolia in northeastern China, situated near the Mongolian frontier. The airport is categorized as a medium-sized international airport, positioned at an elevation of 3,301 feet mean sea level. Its strategic location supports regional transportation and cross-border connectivity in a geographically significant area.
Flying Conditions
The airport's high elevation at 3,301 feet MSL indicates potential density altitude considerations, particularly during warmer months. Given its location in Inner Mongolia, pilots can expect significant seasonal temperature variations that will impact aircraft performance. Wind conditions are likely to be variable, with potential for strong crosswinds on the primary runway 12/30.
Notable Features
Erenhot Saiwusu International Airport features a single runway (12/30) measuring 9,186 feet in length, constructed with concrete (CON) surface. The runway's substantial length provides flexibility for a variety of aircraft types and operational requirements. Its geographical coordinates at 43.422500, 112.096667 place the airport in a semi-arid region with potentially challenging terrain and meteorological conditions.
Approach Considerations
Runway 12/30's orientation suggests potential wind-aligned approaches from north-northeast (12) and south-southwest (30) headings. Pilots should anticipate potential turbulence and wind shear typical of the regional landscape. Standard instrument approach procedures will be essential given the airport's elevation and geographic context.
