Sheikh ul Alam International Airport serves the Kashmir region in northern India, located in Srinagar at an elevation of 5,429 feet above mean sea level. As a medium-sized airport with a substantial runway length of 12,090 feet, the airport supports regional and national air transportation needs for this mountainous area.

Flying Conditions

The high elevation of 5,429 feet MSL creates unique atmospheric conditions that pilots must consider, potentially affecting aircraft performance and density altitude calculations. Seasonal variations in the region can significantly impact meteorological conditions, with winter months likely presenting more challenging flying environments due to potential snow and reduced visibility.

Notable Features

The airport is situated in a mountainous geographical context, with coordinates at 33.987099, 74.774200 indicating its position in the Kashmir valley.
