About Quesna Airport

Overview

Quesna Airport (HE42) is a medium-sized airport located in the Nile Delta region of Egypt, near the city of Quesna. Positioned at coordinates 30.579000, 31.129200, the airport serves the local area with an elevation of 33 feet above mean sea level, providing aviation infrastructure for regional transportation and operations.

Flying Conditions

The airport's low elevation of 33 ft MSL indicates a relatively flat terrain characteristic of the Nile Delta region. Given its geographical location, pilots can expect typical Egyptian Delta climate conditions, which include hot summers and mild winters with generally stable atmospheric conditions.

Notable Features

Quesna Airport features a single asphalt runway (16/34) with a substantial length of 9,054 feet, accommodating a variety of aircraft types and operational requirements. The runway's orientation suggests potential crosswind considerations during approach and departure, which pilots should carefully assess based on prevailing wind conditions.

Approach Considerations

The runway's length of 9,054 feet provides ample space for most aircraft operations, offering flexibility in landing and takeoff procedures. Pilots should be prepared for potential wind variations along the 16/34 runway heading, and plan approach strategies that account for the airport's low-elevation delta environment.
