The airport supports regional transportation and potentially military/humanitarian operations in eastern Afghanistan.

Flying Conditions

The airport's elevation of 1,814 feet suggests a moderate altitude environment with potential for temperature and density altitude variations. Pilots should anticipate potential performance considerations related to the airport's terrain and elevation. Seasonal weather patterns in this region can include significant temperature fluctuations and potential wind variability.

Notable Features

Jalalabad Airport features a single runway (13/31) with an asphalt surface measuring 7,262 feet in length. The runway's orientation suggests potential crosswind challenges, with a northwest-southeast alignment. The surrounding terrain is characterized by the transitional landscape between Afghanistan's mountainous regions and plains.

Approach Considerations

Runway 13/31's substantial 7,262-foot length provides flexibility for various aircraft types and operational requirements. Approach planning should consider potential terrain interactions and the airport's elevation when calculating performance parameters. Pilots should be prepared for potential wind variations given the airport's geographic location.
