About Dushanbe International Airport

Overview

Dushanbe International Airport serves as the primary airport for Tajikistan's capital city, located in the southwestern part of the country. Situated at an elevation of 2,575 feet MSL, the airport supports medium-level aviation operations with a substantial runway measuring 10,170 feet in length. Its geographical coordinates at 38.543746, 68.822977 position it in a strategic location within Central Asia.

Flying Conditions

Weather conditions at Dushanbe International demonstrate significant variability, with instrument flight rules (IFR) conditions present approximately 33.9% of the time. Historical meteorological data indicates temperature ranges from -9°C to 38°C, with an average of 12.8°C. Pilots can expect particularly favorable visual flight conditions during September, October, and December, which statistically offer the most consistent VFR weather patterns.

Notable Features

The airport's single runway (09/27) is constructed of asphalt, providing a robust surface for aircraft operations. Its high-altitude location and regional terrain suggest potential considerations for aircraft performance and approach strategies. While specific detailed terrain information is not provided, pilots should anticipate potential mountain-influenced meteorological and operational dynamics typical of Central Asian airports.

Approach Considerations

Visibility at Dushanbe International averages 10 statute miles, with minimal instances of reduced visibility (fog occurs in only 1.7% of observations). The comprehensive weather data indicates extremely low wind variability, though pilots should conduct standard pre-flight wind assessments. Standard instrument approach preparations should be conducted with awareness of the potential for moderate instrument meteorological conditions.
