About Kazan International Airport

Overview

Kazan International Airport serves as a major aviation hub in the Republic of Tatarstan, Russia, located in the city of Kazan. Positioned at 411 ft above mean sea level with coordinates 55.606201, 49.278702, the airport features two substantial concrete runways capable of handling large aircraft operations. Its strategic location makes it a critical transportation infrastructure for the Volga region.

Flying Conditions

Weather conditions at Kazan demonstrate significant variability, with visual flight rules (VFR) prevailing in 47% of observations. Pilots can expect challenging conditions, with instrument flight rules (IFR) present 17.5% of the time and low instrument flight rules (LIFR) occurring 11.7% of observations. Temperature ranges dramatically from -28°C to 28°C, with an average of 1.4°C, indicating potential significant meteorological transitions throughout the year.

Notable Features

The airport features two runways: runway 11/29 at 12,303 ft and runway 11R/29L at 8,196 ft, both constructed of concrete. Fog appears in 4.5% of observations, which could impact visibility and approach conditions. The relatively flat surrounding terrain and consistent elevation suggest stable approach and departure environments for most aircraft operations.

Approach Considerations

September through November represent the most favorable visual meteorological conditions, with consistently good visibility averaging 10 statute miles. While wind data in the provided statistics appears incomplete, pilots should prepare for potential seasonal wind variations. The dual runway configuration provides operational flexibility for different approach and departure scenarios.
