About Surin Airport

Overview

Surin Airport serves the Surin province in northeastern Thailand, located at coordinates 14.868300, 103.498001. As a medium-sized airport situated at 478 feet above mean sea level, it provides regional transportation infrastructure for the surrounding area.

Flying Conditions

The airport's elevation at 478 ft MSL suggests a relatively low-altitude environment typical of Thailand's northeastern plateau region. Pilots should anticipate standard tropical conditions with potential seasonal variations in visibility and wind patterns.

Notable Features

The airport features a single runway (01/19) with an asphalt surface measuring 5,053 feet in length. Its geographic positioning in Surin province indicates potential terrain considerations common to Thailand's northeastern landscape, with relatively flat surrounding topography.

Approach Considerations

Runway 01/19 provides a standard directional orientation and offers sufficient length for medium-sized aircraft operations. Pilots should assess local wind conditions and prepare for potential crosswind scenarios given the single runway configuration.
