About Krasnoyarsk International Airport
Overview
Krasnoyarsk International Airport serves as a critical aviation hub in central Siberia, strategically located in the Krasnoyarsk region of Russia. Positioned at an elevation of 942 feet above mean sea level, the airport facilitates both domestic and international air transportation in a challenging geographic region. Its substantial runway measuring 12,139 feet enables operations for large commercial and cargo aircraft.
Flying Conditions
The airport's location in Siberia results in significant seasonal weather variations that pilots must carefully consider. Winter conditions can produce extremely cold temperatures and potential snow/ice accumulation, while summer periods may present more stable atmospheric conditions. The airport's elevation at 942 ft MSL and geographic position suggest potential wind variability and potential mountain wave effects.
Notable Features
Krasnoyarsk International Airport features a single primary runway (11/29) with an asphalt surface, suitable for heavy aircraft operations. The airport's coordinates at 56.173077, 92.492437 indicate its placement in a continental landscape with potential terrain complexity surrounding the airport environment. Its classification as a large international airport suggests robust infrastructure and comprehensive operational capabilities.
Approach Considerations
Runway 11/29's substantial length of 12,139 feet provides significant operational flexibility for various aircraft types and approach scenarios. Prevailing wind patterns will influence runway selection, with pilots advised to obtain current meteorological data before approach. The airport's elevation and geographic context may require careful consideration of density altitude effects during takeoff and landing operations.
