About Nanjing Lukou International Airport
Overview
Nanjing Lukou International Airport serves as a major aviation hub for Nanjing, located in Jiangsu Province, China. Positioned at 49 feet mean sea level, the airport supports large commercial aircraft operations with two substantial concrete runways. Its strategic location facilitates significant passenger and cargo traffic for the Nanjing metropolitan area.
Flying Conditions
The airport's low elevation of 49 feet MSL suggests minimal terrain-related weather variations. Being near the Yangtze River delta region, pilots can anticipate potential seasonal humidity and occasional fog conditions. Temperature and wind patterns will likely fluctuate between maritime and continental influences typical of the region.
Notable Features
Nanjing Lukou International Airport features two parallel runways measuring 11,810-11,811 feet in length, capable of handling wide-body aircraft. The runway orientation of 06/24 and 07/25 provides flexibility for landing and takeoff based on prevailing wind conditions. Its substantial runway lengths enable operations for most commercial and cargo aircraft types.
Approach Considerations
Runway selection will typically depend on wind direction, with the closely aligned 06/24 and 07/25 runways offering operational redundancy. The concrete runway surfaces provide stable landing conditions across both primary runway configurations. Pilots should anticipate standard instrument approach procedures consistent with a large international airport serving a major Chinese metropolitan area.
