About El Fasher Airport
Overview
El Fasher Airport serves the city of El Fasher in Sudan, located at coordinates 13.614900, 25.324600. As a medium airport situated at an elevation of 2,393 feet mean sea level, it provides critical aviation infrastructure for the North Darfur region. The airport supports regional transportation needs with two runways that accommodate various aircraft operations.
Flying Conditions
The airport's high elevation at 2,393 feet MSL will impact aircraft performance, particularly during warmer periods. Two distinct runways - one asphalt (05/23 at 9,744 feet) and one gravel (18/36 at 5,010 feet) - offer pilots flexibility based on wind conditions and aircraft capabilities. Pilots should anticipate potential density altitude challenges given the airport's elevated terrain and regional climate.
Notable Features
El Fasher Airport's dual runway configuration provides operational resilience, with surfaces of different materials allowing adaptability to local conditions. The longer asphalt runway (05/23) at 9,744 feet can accommodate larger aircraft, while the shorter gravel runway (18/36) offers alternative landing options. The airport's geographic position in North Darfur suggests potential challenging terrain and meteorological variations.
Approach Considerations
Runway orientation (05/23 and 18/36) suggests multiple approach options depending on prevailing winds. Pilots should carefully calculate performance parameters considering the 2,393 foot elevation and potential temperature variations. The substantial length of the primary asphalt runway (9,744 feet) provides significant operational margins for most aircraft types operating in this region.
