About Suvarnabhumi Airport
Overview
Suvarnabhumi Airport serves as the primary international gateway for Bangkok, Thailand, handling major commercial and cargo operations. Located at a low elevation of 5 ft mean sea level, the airport is situated in the Bangkok metropolitan area with geographic coordinates of 13.681100, 100.747002.
Flying Conditions
Bangkok's tropical climate produces significant seasonal weather variations that can impact flight operations. Pilots should anticipate potential thunderstorm activity, especially during the monsoon season, which can create challenging approach and departure conditions across the airport's three substantial asphalt runways.
Notable Features
The airport features three parallel runways: 01/19 and 02L/20R measuring 13,123 feet, and 02R/20L at 12,139 feet in length. Its low elevation and proximity to coastal regions mean wind patterns can be variable, with potential crosswind considerations during approach and landing sequences.
Approach Considerations
Runway configurations provide multiple options for arrivals and departures, with parallel runway operations enabling efficient traffic management. The extensive runway lengths support wide-body aircraft operations and provide substantial margins for safe landings and takeoffs in various meteorological conditions.
