About Madurai Airport
Overview
Madurai Airport serves the historic city of Madurai in Tamil Nadu, India, functioning as a medium-sized regional airport. Located at coordinates 9.834510, 78.093399 and elevated at 459 feet above mean sea level, the airport provides critical aviation infrastructure for the southern region. The airport features two runways supporting various aircraft operations.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at Madurai Airport demonstrate significant instrument flight requirements, with 52.8% IFR and 46.8% MVFR observations. Prevailing winds from the northeast at an average of 6.8 knots create generally stable conditions, with temperatures ranging from 19°C to 39°C and an average of 27.4°C. January, September, and October represent the most favorable months for visual flight operations.
Notable Features
Both runways (09/27 and 13/31) offer excellent wind alignment, with 100% favorable wind coverage. The primary runway 09/27 is asphalted and 5,990 feet long, while the secondary runway 13/31 is concrete-constructed and 4,603 feet in length. The airport's moderate elevation and consistent wind patterns provide relatively predictable flying conditions for pilots.
Approach Considerations
With consistent northeast prevailing winds, pilots can expect minimal crosswind challenges, averaging just 3.7 knots on runway 09/27 and 5.2 knots on runway 13/31. The extensive visibility averaging 10 statute miles and minimal instances of reduced visibility create favorable approach conditions. Pilots should anticipate standard instrument meteorological conditions and prepare accordingly.
