Sana'a International Airport (OYSN/SAH) is the principal gateway to Yemen's capital, perched at a lofty 7,188 feet above sea level. It offers a single very long, hard-surfaced runway with an instrument landing system, making it a striking high-altitude destination for the virtual pilot.
Sana'a International Airport, identified by the ICAO code OYSN and IATA code SAH, serves Sana'a, the capital of Yemen, in the Amanat al-Asimah governorate. Sitting at 7,188 feet above mean sea level, it is one of the higher-elevation international airports a simulator pilot is likely to encounter, which brings reduced air density, longer ground rolls and higher true airspeeds into play for any approach or departure. The airfield's single, exceptionally long runway and full ILS equipment make it a capable all-weather field despite its remote, high-plateau setting.
The airport lies at coordinates 15.4794 N, 44.2197 E, within the Amanat al-Asimah governorate that encompasses Sana'a city. No further detail on the surrounding airspace classification or adjacent controlled zones is available.
The field has a single physical runway, 18/36, aligned almost exactly north-south. It is 10,688 feet long with a hard surface and is lit for night operations. An instrument landing system serves runway 18, giving a precision approach into the high-altitude field; runway 36 is unequipped for ILS.
Ground movements are handled on 121.6 MHz, with the tower operating on 118.9 MHz. Runway 18 is served by an ILS, providing a precision instrument approach at this high-elevation aerodrome.
Sana'a International Airport functions as Yemen's principal international airport, equipped with a single long, lit, hard-surfaced runway and an ILS approach to runway 18. Its high field elevation of 7,188 feet is a key consideration for any pilot planning operations there, affecting performance margins on both arrival and departure.
