As a medium-sized airport with a single runway (05/23), it supports regional transportation and potentially serves commercial, charter, and general aviation operations in the coastal region.

Flying Conditions

Weather conditions at Rajahmundry exhibit significant variability, with 45% MVFR and 45.8% IFR days indicating challenging visibility and cloud cover. The prevailing easterly winds at an average of 6.9 knots create generally stable conditions, with temperatures ranging from 16°C to 40°C and an average of 26.1°C. January, September, and October represent the most favorable VFR flying months.

Notable Features

The airport's single runway 05/23 is 10,384 feet long with an asphalt surface, providing substantial landing and takeoff capacity. Its coastal location suggests potential for rapid weather changes, with low fog occurrence (1.1% of observations) and generally good visibility averaging 10 statute miles. The geographic positioning near the Bay of Bengal may introduce maritime meteorological influences.
