RunwayPayam International Airport
Multi-Universe Rankings & Statistical Standing
🔬 Operational & Aerodrome Engineering Comparative Analysis
Elevation & Atmospheric Density
Operating at 4,170 ft (1,271 m MSL), true airspeed (TAS) on approach and takeoff roll is moderately higher than indicated airspeed (IAS). Engines experience slight thrust lapse under elevated summer temperatures, necessitating conservative density-altitude dispatch calculations for fully laden twin-engine commercial transports.
Regional Density & Alternates (100 NM)
Within its 100 NM cluster of 2 neighboring aerodromes, Payam International Airport is supported by major regional alternatives. Notably, Mehrabad International Airport (THR) lies just 24.3 NM away with a 13,258 ft runway, offering reliable operational redundancy for commercial diversions and congested airspace rerouting.
Fleet Compatibility & Ground Roll
With its longest runway exceeding 10,500 ft (3,659 m) and paved surface engineering, Payam International Airport meets the operational runway criteria for unrestricted long-haul operations by Code 4E and 4F heavy widebody aircraft, including the Airbus A380-800, Boeing 747-8, Airbus A350-1000, and Boeing 777-300ER at high operational weights.
