About Al Ain International Airport
Overview
Al Ain International Airport serves as a strategic aviation facility located in the eastern region of the United Arab Emirates. Situated at an elevation of 869 feet above mean sea level, the airport provides critical infrastructure for regional air transportation in the Al Ain area. Its substantial runway measuring 13,123 feet allows for operations of medium to large aircraft.
Flying Conditions
The airport's location in the UAE suggests a hot desert climate with potential for significant temperature variations and minimal precipitation. Pilots should anticipate high ambient temperatures that can impact aircraft performance, particularly during summer months. The relatively high elevation and desert environment may introduce unique atmospheric conditions affecting aircraft operations.
Notable Features
The airport features a single runway (01/19) with an asphalt surface, oriented in a north-south configuration. Its geographical coordinates (24.261700, 55.609200) place it in a region characterized by flat desert terrain with minimal surrounding topographical interference. The runway's considerable length of 13,123 feet provides substantial operational flexibility for different aircraft types.
Approach Considerations
Runway 01/19's length and orientation suggest potential utility across various wind conditions, though specific prevailing wind data would provide more precise approach recommendations. Pilots should conduct standard pre-flight assessments considering the airport's desert environment, elevation, and potential temperature-related performance considerations. Standard instrument approach procedures and terrain awareness are critical for safe operations at this airport.
