About Atyrau International Airport
Overview
Atyrau International Airport serves the oil-rich region of western Kazakhstan, located in the city of Atyrau near the Caspian Sea. The airport supports petroleum industry logistics, regional transportation, and international connections for the Atyrau Oblast. As a medium-sized airport situated at -72 feet mean sea level, it provides critical infrastructure for economic and transportation needs in this remote area.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at Atyrau demonstrate significant variability, with visual flight rules (VFR) conditions predominating at 53.7% of observations. Pilots can expect moderate meteorological challenges, with marginal VFR (26.8%) and instrument flight conditions (IFR/LIFR combined at 19.6%) periodically occurring. Temperature ranges widely from -20°C to 28°C, with an average of 4.3°C, suggesting potential for significant thermal and atmospheric variations.
Notable Features
The airport features a single runway (14/32) measuring 9,842 feet with an asphalt surface, suitable for medium to large aircraft operations. Its extremely low elevation at -72 feet MSL indicates a flat geographical context typical of the Caspian Sea coastal region. The airport's geographic position suggests potential for wind and visibility challenges common to coastal and steppe environments.
Approach Considerations
While specific wind data appears limited in the provided statistics, pilots should prepare for potential visibility and temperature-related considerations. September through November represent the most consistently favorable VFR months, with minimal fog occurrence (7.2% of observations). The long runway provides substantial operational flexibility for approach and landing scenarios across various aircraft types.
