About Riyan Mukalla International Airport

Overview

Riyan Mukalla International Airport serves the coastal region of Yemen, located in the southern part of the country near Mukalla city. The airport is positioned at an elevation of 54 feet above mean sea level, serving as a medium-sized international airport for regional aviation operations.

Flying Conditions

The airport's coastal location suggests potential for variable wind conditions, typical of maritime environments. Pilots should anticipate potential sea-level meteorological variations that can impact flight operations, with wind patterns potentially influencing runway 06/24 usage.

Notable Features

The airport features a single runway (06/24) with a substantial length of 9,846 feet, constructed with an asphalted surface. Its geographical coordinates at 14.662600, 49.375000 place it in a region with potential complex terrain and regional climatic influences that pilots must consider during flight planning.

Approach Considerations

Given the runway's orientation of 06/24, pilots should prepare for approaches aligned with this heading, taking into account potential crosswind components. The runway's considerable length of 9,846 feet provides significant operational flexibility for most medium-sized aircraft requiring substantial landing and takeoff distances.
