About Don Mueang International Airport

Overview

Don Mueang International Airport serves as a critical aviation hub in Bangkok, Thailand, handling significant commercial and charter traffic. Located at 13.912600, 100.607002 with an elevation of 9 feet MSL, the airport features two substantial asphalt runways capable of supporting large aircraft operations. As a major international airport, it provides essential connectivity for the Bangkok metropolitan region.

Flying Conditions

Bangkok's tropical climate presents dynamic weather conditions for pilots operating at Don Mueang. The airport's low elevation of 9 feet MSL means minimal altitude-related performance considerations, with generally stable atmospheric conditions. Pilots should anticipate potential seasonal variations typical of Thailand's monsoon climate, which can impact visibility and precipitation levels.

Notable Features

Don Mueang features two parallel runways: 03L/21R measuring 12,139 feet and 03R/21L measuring 11,483 feet, both constructed of asphalt surface. The runway configuration allows for simultaneous operations and provides flexibility in approach and departure procedures. The airport's geographical positioning near Bangkok offers strategic advantages for regional and international air traffic.

Approach Considerations

Runway orientation at 03/21 suggests potential wind alignment considerations for approach and landing operations. The substantial runway lengths (12,139 and 11,483 feet) provide generous operational margins for most commercial aircraft types. Pilots should review current meteorological data to determine optimal runway selection based on prevailing wind conditions.
