About Ganja International Airport

Ganja International Airport lies in the temperate mid-latitudes at 40.74° N, 46.32° E, on Asia/Baku time (UTC+4).

Ganja International Airport has 1 runway. The longest, 12/30, measures 10,827 ft by 148 ft, which puts the field in the long-haul capable category: widebodies operate comfortably, though the very longest sectors may need a payload trade. The surface is concrete. It is lit for night operations.

Runway 12/30 is aligned roughly south-east/north-west, which is the clearest hint you get about the prevailing wind here: runways are built to face the wind that blows most often, because aircraft take off and land into it. Every runway here shares that south-east/north-west alignment, so a strong crosswind means a crosswind landing rather than a switch to another strip.
