About Buon Ma Thuot Airport

Overview

Buon Ma Thuot Airport serves the Central Highlands region of Vietnam, located in Dak Lak Province. As a medium-sized airport with significant infrastructure, it provides critical aviation services to the city of Buon Ma Thuot and surrounding areas. The airport's elevation of 1,729 feet above mean sea level positions it in a distinctive geographical context.

Flying Conditions

The airport's elevation and central highland location suggest potential for variable weather conditions, with potential thermal activity and localized wind patterns. Pilots should anticipate temperature and density altitude variations typical of elevated terrain environments. The single runway's 9,843-foot asphalt surface provides substantial operational flexibility for most aircraft types.

Notable Features

Buon Ma Thuot Airport's geographical coordinates (12.668300, 108.120003) place it in a region characterized by varied terrain transitioning between plateau and highland landscapes. The single runway (09/27) orientation suggests potential crosswind considerations during approach and landing. Pilots should be prepared for potential terrain-influenced wind shear and thermal turbulence.

Approach Considerations

The extended runway length of 9,843 feet allows for comfortable approach and landing characteristics for most commercial and regional aircraft. Runway 09/27's orientation indicates potential wind-dependent approach preferences, with careful attention to crosswind components. Standard instrument approach procedures will be essential given the airport's elevated terrain and regional meteorological characteristics.
