About Sohag International Airport
Overview
Sohag International Airport serves the Suhaj region in Egypt, functioning as a large airport located at 26.342515, 31.743017. Positioned at 322 feet above mean sea level, the airport provides critical aviation infrastructure for the surrounding area. Its single runway (15/33) extends 9,843 feet and is constructed with asphalt surface.
Flying Conditions
Located in Upper Egypt, Sohag International Airport experiences typical desert climate conditions with significant temperature variations. Pilots should anticipate potential thermal turbulence and potential visibility challenges during summer months. The airport's elevation at 322 feet MSL suggests relatively stable atmospheric conditions compared to higher terrain regions.
Notable Features
The airport's single runway orientation (15/33) indicates a northwest-southeast alignment, which likely corresponds to prevailing regional wind patterns. Its asphalt surface provides reliable ground handling characteristics, and the 9,843-foot length accommodates a wide range of aircraft types. The airport's geographical position suggests potential terrain considerations typical of the Nile Valley region.
Approach Considerations
Runway 15/33 provides standard approach options with significant runway length for most commercial and regional aircraft. Pilots should prepare for potential crosswind conditions given the runway's linear northwest-southeast orientation. Standard instrument approach procedures will be applicable, with consideration for the airport's modest elevation and surrounding terrain.
