About Husein Sastranegara International Airport

Overview

Husein Sastranegara International Airport serves the city of Bandung, Indonesia, positioned at an elevation of 2,436 feet above mean sea level. Located at coordinates -6.900630, 107.575996, this medium-sized airport provides critical aviation infrastructure for West Java's regional transportation needs. The airport supports both civilian and potential military aviation operations.

Flying Conditions

Bandung's elevated location at 2,436 ft MSL influences its meteorological characteristics, typically presenting cooler temperatures compared to coastal Indonesian regions. Pilots should anticipate potential orographic effects due to the surrounding mountainous terrain. Seasonal wind patterns will impact approach and departure procedures, particularly on the primary runway 11/29.

Notable Features

The airport features a single runway (11/29) measuring 7,381 feet in length, constructed with asphalt surface. Its significant elevation and proximity to mountainous terrain require careful navigation and situational awareness. The geographical positioning demands precise altitude management during all phases of flight.

Approach Considerations

Runway 11/29's substantial 7,381-foot length provides flexibility for various aircraft types operating at this elevation. Pilots should carefully assess wind direction and terrain interactions when planning approaches, considering the airport's significant above-sea-level elevation. Standard instrument approach procedures will need to account for the surrounding topographical features of the Bandung region.
