Located at coordinates 26.708799, 85.922401, this medium-sized airport supports regional connectivity with its single runway serving both civilian and potential regional transportation needs.

Flying Conditions

Situated at an elevation of 256 feet above mean sea level, Janakpur Airport experiences typical subtropical conditions characteristic of the Terai region of Nepal. Pilots should anticipate potential variations in visibility and wind conditions, particularly during monsoon seasons which can significantly impact local meteorological patterns.

Given the runway's moderate length of 3,300 feet, pilots should carefully assess aircraft performance parameters and weight considerations during approach and landing planning.
