About Ruhengeri Airport

Ruhengeri Airport (HRYU/RHG) is located in Ruhengeri, RW at an elevation of 6,102 feet MSL, making density altitude a consideration for performance planning. The airport has 1 runway (14/32), with the longest at 4,000 feet.

Airport Overview

Ruhengeri Airport serves Ruhengeri in RW. As a smaller airfield, services may be limited. Pilots should verify fuel availability and operating hours before arrival. The airport features 1 runway (14/32) with grass surface. The longest runway measures 4,000 feet, adequate for light general aviation aircraft.

Elevation Considerations

At 6102 feet MSL, density altitude is an important consideration for flight planning, particularly during summer months. Performance calculations should account for the reduced air density at this elevation.

Flight Planning

For current NOTAMs and operational information, consult the local aviation authority publications. Weather data including METAR and TAF reports are typically available from nearby reporting stations if not directly from this airport. Before flight, verify current conditions through official channels and check Jeppesen or national AIP for the latest aeronautical information.
