About Bole Alashankou Airport

Overview

Bole Alashankou Airport is a medium-sized airport located in the Xinjiang region of western China, positioned at coordinates 44.895461, 82.300070. The airport serves the Bole area at an elevation of 1,253 feet mean sea level, providing essential aviation infrastructure in this remote northwestern region of the country.

Flying Conditions

The airport's location in northwestern China suggests significant temperature and wind variation, typical of continental inland regions. Pilots should anticipate potential challenging meteorological conditions due to the airport's elevated terrain and geographical position in a semi-arid climate zone.

Notable Features

The airport features a single runway (10/28) with a substantial length of 8,530 feet, suitable for medium-sized aircraft operations. Its geographic position in the Xinjiang region indicates potential exposure to variable terrain and potential crosswind conditions during approach and departure.

Approach Considerations

Runway 10/28's extended length provides flexibility for various aircraft types and potential challenging wind conditions. Pilots should prepare for potential terrain-influenced wind patterns and carefully review current meteorological reports prior to approach, given the airport's inland location and elevation.
