About Zayed International Airport
Overview
Zayed International Airport serves as the primary international airport for Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. Located at coordinates 24.443764, 54.651718, the airport is positioned at an elevation of 88 feet mean sea level. As a large airport, it supports extensive international and regional air traffic with substantial runway capacity.
Flying Conditions
The airport sits at a low elevation with two parallel asphalt runways offering significant length for most aircraft operations. Both runways measure approximately 13,450 feet, providing ample space for heavy aircraft and long-haul operations. Given its location in the UAE, pilots should anticipate potential heat-related performance considerations during summer months.
Notable Features
The airport features two parallel runways (13L/31R and 13R/31L) with similar orientations, which allows for flexible approach and departure options. The parallel runway configuration provides redundancy and supports high-volume traffic movements. Its coastal location near Abu Dhabi suggests potential maritime meteorological influences on local flying conditions.
Approach Considerations
Runway headings of 13/31 indicate a northwest/southeast orientation, which may align with regional wind patterns. The substantial runway lengths of 13,451 and 13,471 feet respectively offer significant margins for diverse aircraft types and weights. Pilots should review current local wind information to determine optimal runway selection during approach and landing.
