About Tabuk Airport
Overview
Tabuk Airport is a medium-sized airport located in northwestern Saudi Arabia, serving the city of Tabuk. Situated at an elevation of 2,551 feet MSL, the airport features two substantial asphalt runways capable of handling significant aircraft operations. Its strategic location provides critical aviation infrastructure in a region characterized by arid terrain and variable weather conditions.
Flying Conditions
The airport demonstrates exceptionally consistent visual flight conditions, with 97.6% of observations reporting VFR weather. Prevailing westerly winds average 5.8 knots, with occasional gusts up to 20 knots and calm periods occurring 29.3% of the time. Temperature variations are significant, ranging from 0°C to 41°C, with an average of 20°C, suggesting potential density altitude considerations during summer months.
Notable Features
Both runways (06/24 and 13/31) offer extended lengths exceeding 10,000 feet, providing substantial operational flexibility for various aircraft types. The airport's geographical coordinates (28.365400, 36.618900) place it in a region with generally stable atmospheric conditions. Pilots can expect consistently favorable wind alignments, with both runways experiencing 100% favorable wind conditions and minimal average crosswind components.
Approach Considerations
September, October, and November represent the most favorable VFR months for operations. The long runways and predictable wind patterns enable straightforward approach and landing procedures. With an average visibility of 10 statute miles and zero reported fog incidents, pilots can anticipate reliable visual references during approach and landing sequences.
