About Mohamed Boudiaf International Airport
Overview
Mohamed Boudiaf International Airport serves Constantine, Algeria as a medium-sized airport situated at 2265 feet above mean sea level. The airport, identified by ICAO code DABC, provides critical regional aviation infrastructure with two substantial asphalt runways capable of handling significant aircraft traffic. Its strategic location offers critical transportation connectivity for eastern Algeria.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at Mohamed Boudiaf are predominantly favorable for visual flight rules (VFR), with 85.2% of observations supporting VFR operations. Temperature ranges from 0°C to 35°C with an average of 13.1°C, creating generally stable flying environments. September through November represent the most consistent VFR months, characterized by stable winds averaging 7 knots from the west (270°) with occasional gusts up to 31 knots.
Notable Features
The airport features two parallel runways with similar wind characteristics, both experiencing 100% favorable wind conditions. Runway 13/31 measures 7,874 feet, while Runway 16/34 extends to 9,843 feet, providing substantial operational flexibility. Average crosswind components remain modest at 4.2-4.5 knots, suggesting predictable landing and takeoff conditions for most aircraft.
Approach Considerations
Pilots can expect consistently good visibility averaging 10 statute miles, with minimal instances of restricted visual conditions. Fog is rare, occurring in only 0.4% of observations, and visibility rarely drops below 3 statute miles. The western prevailing winds and extensive runway lengths provide multiple approach options with minimal wind-related complications.
