About Huai'an Lianshui International Airport

Overview

Huai'an Lianshui International Airport serves the Huai'an region in Jiangsu Province, China, functioning as a medium-sized airport for regional and domestic aviation operations. Located at coordinates 33.790833, 119.125000, the airport provides critical transportation infrastructure for the surrounding metropolitan area. Its modest elevation of 28 feet means it operates in a low-lying coastal terrain typical of the Jiangsu region.

Flying Conditions

As a coastal airport, Huai'an Lianshui can experience variable weather conditions influenced by maritime and continental air masses. The airport's low elevation suggests potential for fog and reduced visibility, particularly during transitional seasons. Pilots should anticipate potential wind shifts and be prepared for meteorological variations common to eastern Chinese coastal regions.

Notable Features

The airport features a single runway (04/22) with a substantial length of 9,186 feet constructed of concrete (CON). This runway configuration provides flexibility for medium-sized aircraft operations and supports various approach scenarios. Its orientation suggests potential crosswind management considerations during certain wind conditions.

Approach Considerations

Runway 04/22's significant length allows for versatile approach and departure procedures for medium-sized aircraft. Given the airport's coastal location, pilots should be prepared for potential wind gradient effects and maintain heightened awareness during landing and takeoff phases. Standard instrument approach procedures will be applicable, with careful attention to local meteorological conditions.
