About Denpasar I Gusti Ngurah Rai International Airport
Overview
Denpasar I Gusti Ngurah Rai International Airport serves as the primary international gateway to Bali, Indonesia. Located in Kuta, Badung, the airport is strategically positioned to handle significant international and domestic air traffic. As a large airport with an elevation of 14 feet MSL, it supports comprehensive aviation operations for the region.
Flying Conditions
Situated near the equator at coordinates -8.748409, 115.167123, the airport experiences consistent tropical maritime weather conditions. Pilots can expect generally stable atmospheric conditions with potential for localized convective activity typical of tropical island environments. The single runway (09/27) measuring 9,790 feet with an asphalt surface provides substantial operational flexibility.
Notable Features
The airport is positioned in a coastal environment, which introduces potential for sea-level wind variations and thermal conditions. Its single runway orientation (09/27) suggests potential crosswind challenges depending on prevailing wind patterns. The low elevation of 14 feet MSL indicates minimal terrain-related approach complexities.
Approach Considerations
Runway 09/27's substantial 9,790-foot length accommodates a wide range of aircraft types and provides ample landing and takeoff margins. Pilots should anticipate potential thermal and maritime wind effects during approach, particularly during transition between land and sea breezes. Standard instrument approach procedures will be critical given the airport's tropical island location.
