About Indira Gandhi International Airport
Overview
Indira Gandhi International Airport serves as the primary international gateway for New Delhi, India, handling major commercial and cargo operations. Located at 28.555630N, 77.095190E and elevated at 777 feet mean sea level, this large airport is a critical aviation hub for the national capital region.
Flying Conditions
Delhi's airport experiences significant seasonal weather variations, with summer temperatures potentially creating high-density altitude conditions that affect aircraft performance. The airport's multiple long runways (ranging from 9,229ft to 14,534ft) provide operational flexibility across different meteorological conditions.
Notable Features
The airport features four substantial asphalt runways, with 11R/29L being the longest at 14,534 feet, enabling operations for wide-body aircraft and providing significant operational redundancy. Its elevation of 777 feet MSL represents a moderate altitude that generally supports standard aviation performance parameters.
Approach Considerations
Runway configurations 11/29 and 09/27 offer multiple approach options based on prevailing wind conditions. The extensive runway lengths (particularly 11R/29L and 11L/29R exceeding 14,000 feet) provide significant margin for diverse aircraft types and operational requirements.
