About Islamabad International Airport
Overview
Islamabad International Airport serves as a key aviation hub located in Attock, Pakistan. Situated at an elevation of 1761 ft mean sea level, the airport provides critical connectivity for the region with its substantial infrastructure. The airport features two parallel runways, each 12,001 feet long and constructed with asphalt surfaces.
Flying Conditions
The airport's elevation of 1761 ft suggests a moderate altitude environment with potential for temperature and density altitude variations. Pilots should anticipate standard atmospheric conditions typical of the region, which may include seasonal temperature fluctuations that could impact aircraft performance. The parallel runway configuration provides operational flexibility across different wind conditions.
Notable Features
Located at coordinates 33.549000, 72.825660, Islamabad International Airport is positioned in a geographical context that may involve complex terrain interactions. The dual parallel runways (10L/28R and 10R/28L) offer strategic operational advantages, enabling simultaneous approaches and increased airport capacity. The consistent 12,001-foot runway lengths support operations for a wide range of aircraft types.
Approach Considerations
Runway orientation at 10/28 indicates potential prevailing wind alignments from east-southeast to west-northwest. The identical runway lengths of 12,001 feet provide equivalent operational capabilities for approaches from either direction. Pilots should conduct standard terrain and wind assessments when planning arrivals or departures at this facility.
