About Chandigarh International Airport

Overview

Chandigarh International Airport serves the twin capital cities of Punjab and Haryana, strategically located in northern India. The airport operates as a medium-sized facility at an elevation of 1012 feet above mean sea level, providing critical air connectivity for the region's administrative and commercial centers.

Flying Conditions

The airport's elevation of 1012 ft MSL indicates a moderate terrain environment with potential seasonal temperature variations typical of northern India. Pilots should anticipate temperature-related performance considerations, particularly during summer months when density altitude can significantly impact aircraft operations.

Notable Features

Positioned at coordinates 30.673500, 76.788498, the airport features a single runway (11/29) with an asphalt surface measuring 9,001 feet in length. The runway orientation suggests potential crosswind challenges, with approaches potentially requiring careful wind management during landing and takeoff.

Approach Considerations

The 9,001-foot runway provides substantial landing distance for most medium-sized aircraft, offering operational flexibility for different aircraft types. Runway 11/29's alignment suggests wind patterns may influence preferred approach directions, requiring pilots to carefully assess current meteorological conditions during arrival and departure planning.
