Weather Briefing
MVFRKandla Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with few clouds at 2,500 feet and 6 km visibility. Note: This observation is 613.7 hours old and conditions may have changed.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the west-southwest (250°) at 10 knots with gusts to 20 knots. Runway 23 is favored with a 9-knot headwind and 3-knot crosswind component (gusting to 7 knots crosswind).
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 6 km, below VFR minimums in some airspace classifications. Check local requirements before departing VFR. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: few at 2,500 ft.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 34°C (93°F) with a dewpoint of 17°C, indicating very dry conditions. High temperatures at this elevation may result in significant density altitude effects. Pilots should calculate density altitude and adjust performance expectations accordingly.
Forecast Outlook
The TAF forecast covers the next 9 hours. Conditions are expected to fluctuate between VFR and MVFR. VFR pilots should be prepared for deteriorating conditions. Expected weather includes: Mist, Haze.
Pilot Recommendations

About Kandla Airport
Overview
Kandla Airport serves the industrial region of Gujarat, located near the Gulf of Kachchh in western India. Situated at an elevation of 96 feet above mean sea level, the airport supports regional commercial and cargo operations in this strategically important maritime and industrial zone.
Flying Conditions
The airport experiences a typical tropical maritime climate with significant seasonal wind variations. Winds predominantly favor runway 05/23, which is a 4,997-foot concrete runway capable of supporting medium-sized aircraft operations.
Notable Features
Kandla Airport is positioned in a coastal area with relatively flat terrain, offering straightforward approach and departure paths. The airport's geographic location near major industrial ports provides strategic importance for regional transportation and logistics networks.
Approach Considerations
The single runway (05/23) suggests that pilots should anticipate wind-based runway selection based on prevailing conditions. With the runway's substantial 4,997-foot length, most medium-sized aircraft can operate comfortably within the available pavement length.
