About Allama Iqbal International Airport
Overview
Allama Iqbal International Airport serves as the primary international gateway for Lahore, Pakistan, handling significant commercial passenger and cargo traffic. Located at an elevation of 712 feet above mean sea level, the airport supports large aircraft operations with its substantial runway infrastructure.
Flying Conditions
Lahore experiences significant seasonal temperature variations which can impact aircraft performance, particularly given the airport's elevation. Pilots should anticipate potential density altitude challenges during summer months, with runway lengths of 11,024 feet (18L/36R) and 9,000 feet (18R/36L) providing sufficient operational margins for most aircraft types.
Notable Features
The airport's geographic positioning at 31.521601N, 74.403603E places it in a relatively flat urban environment with predictable terrain characteristics. Two concrete and asphalt runways provide operational flexibility, allowing wind-aligned approaches and reducing crosswind landing constraints.
Approach Considerations
Runway 18L/36R, being the longer concrete runway at 11,024 feet, represents the primary instrument approach and heavy aircraft landing surface. Pilots should anticipate standard instrument approach procedures and be prepared for potential urban thermal effects during approach, particularly during summer months.
