About Hangzhou Xiaoshan International Airport

Overview

Hangzhou Xiaoshan International Airport serves as a critical aviation hub in eastern China, located in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province. The airport operates as a large international facility positioned at an elevation of 23 feet mean sea level, strategically situated near the major metropolitan area of Hangzhou.

Flying Conditions

As a coastal airport at low elevation, Xiaoshan experiences moderate climate variations that can impact flight operations. Pilots should anticipate potential humidity and seasonal wind shifts, with the airport's dual runway configuration (06/24 and 07/25) providing flexibility for different meteorological conditions.

Notable Features

The airport features two substantial concrete runways: runway 06/24 measuring 11,155 feet and runway 07/25 extending 11,811 feet. These long runways accommodate wide-body international aircraft and provide significant operational capacity for commercial and cargo aviation in the region.

Approach Considerations

Approaches to Hangzhou Xiaoshan should consider the airport's low elevation and the potential for maritime weather influences. The parallel runway configuration allows for operational adaptability, with precise orientation that can help manage crosswind and directional landing challenges typical in coastal airport environments.
