Elevation & Atmospheric Density

Lowland / Coastal Basin Aerodrome

Positioned at 112 ft (34 m MSL), this aerodrome operates near standard International Standard Atmosphere (ISA) sea-level air density. High ambient air pressure provides optimal turbine thrust conversion, maximum wing lift coefficients, and minimal ground roll distance requirements, allowing long-haul flights to depart at maximum structural takeoff weight limits without atmospheric density penalties.

🧭

Regional Density & Alternates (100 NM)

1 Qualifying Aerodrome in Vicinity

Seville Airport serves as the primary heavy aerodrome in its regional cluster. Its longest runway (11,030 ft) exceeds all 1 qualifying commercial aerodromes within 100 NM, establishing it as the designated regional alternate and priority diversion threshold for widebody traffic encountering in-flight abnormalities.

Fleet Compatibility & Ground Roll

Primary Runway: 11,030 ft (3,362 m)

With its longest runway exceeding 10,500 ft (3,362 m) and paved surface engineering, Seville 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.
