About El Jora Airport

Overview

El Jora Airport is a medium-sized airport located in Egypt at coordinates 31.078138, 34.153131, situated at an elevation of 331 feet above mean sea level. The airport serves regional transportation needs in its geographic area, providing critical infrastructure for aviation operations in this part of Egypt.

Flying Conditions

Given the airport's desert region location, pilots can expect generally stable weather conditions with minimal precipitation and potentially significant temperature variations between day and night. The airport's elevation of 331 feet MSL suggests a relatively low-altitude environment that may experience thermal variations typical of arid landscapes.

Notable Features

El Jora Airport features two parallel asphalt runways: 08/26 and 17/35, each measuring 7,874 feet in length. The parallel runway configuration provides operational flexibility, allowing simultaneous or alternative usage depending on wind conditions and air traffic management requirements.

Approach Considerations

With two identically sized runways oriented at different angles (08/26 and 17/35), pilots have multiple approach options based on prevailing wind conditions. The 7,874-foot runway length accommodates a wide range of aircraft types, providing substantial landing and takeoff distance for most medium-sized aviation operations.
