About Muzaffarpur Airport

Overview

Muzaffarpur Airport serves the urban region of Muzaffarpur in Bihar, India, functioning as a medium-sized airport at 174 feet above mean sea level. Located at coordinates 26.119101, 85.313698, the airport provides essential aviation infrastructure for the northeastern part of Bihar state. Its single runway supports regional transportation needs for this densely populated agricultural area.

Flying Conditions

The airport's elevation of 174 feet MSL indicates a relatively low-altitude environment with minimal terrain complexity. Muzaffarpur experiences a subtropical climate with significant seasonal variation, which can produce substantial changes in temperature and wind conditions throughout the year. Pilots should anticipate potential thermal variations and monsoon-related weather patterns typical of the regional climate.

Notable Features

The airport features a single runway (10/28) measuring 3,990 feet in length, constructed with an asphalt surface. Its geographical positioning in the Gangetic plains suggests generally flat surrounding terrain with minimal vertical obstacles. The runway orientation suggests potential crosswind considerations during approach and departure procedures.

Approach Considerations

Runway 10/28's asphalt surface provides a standard medium-length operational platform for regional aircraft. Given the runway's physical characteristics, pilots should conduct standard approach preparations, accounting for potential crosswind components based on the runway's primary heading. Standard instrument approach procedures would be recommended for safe navigation in varying weather conditions.
