About Mildura Airport

Overview

Mildura Airport serves the regional city of Mildura in northwestern Victoria, Australia. Located at coordinates -34.229198, 142.085999, the airport operates as a medium-sized facility at an elevation of 167 feet mean sea level. The airport provides essential aviation services to the Sunraysia region, supporting commercial, general aviation, and potentially agricultural operations.

Flying Conditions

The airport's inland location suggests potential for significant temperature variations and thermal activity. With an elevation of 167 ft MSL, pilots can expect relatively stable atmospheric conditions typical of the Murray River region. Seasonal wind patterns may impact runway selection, with two asphalt runways offering operational flexibility.

Notable Features

Mildura Airport features two parallel runways: 09/27 measuring 6,004 feet and 18/36 measuring 3,737 feet, both constructed with asphalt surfaces. The substantial length of the primary runway (09/27) provides adequate space for a variety of aircraft types and operational requirements. The airport's geographic position suggests potential for challenging wind conditions typical of inland Australian terrain.

Approach Considerations

Runway orientation (09/27 and 18/36) provides options for approaches based on prevailing wind conditions. The longer 09/27 runway offers preferred operational capabilities for larger aircraft and provides more landing/takeoff flexibility. Pilots should anticipate potential thermal and wind variations consistent with the airport's inland geographic location and relatively low elevation.
