1Terminal

The terminal is not in the best spot. The south side crash gate offers views of the easternmost dispersals. The terminal itself only offers some views after checking in, basically on the same dispersals. When these are occupied the Il-76 block the view on the distant main ramp. The taxiway is relatively nearby though.

2Southwest side approach - a.m.

With a car you can venture into the farmland on the west side of the airfield. Take the small road at the point were the Jagnair road has finished circumnavigating the cantonment area of the airport. Continue straight for about 500 metres and you will be some 200 metres from the centreline, but still 1.2 km from touchdown.

3Southwest side approach - p.m.

Continuing on the road from spot 2 you can under pass the landing. Make a right immediately after that. When the road bends left towards a gate, find a spot to the right.

4Northeast side approach railway track

Although you can catch a glimpse of aircraft taking off at the northwest gate, this is far from ideal. The houses and perimeter wall block your view, not to mention the presence of a guard and many locals. Another possibility is to take the side road towards the railway. Walk towards the airfield and scale the embankment.

5From the aircraft

When leaving from runway 05 the aircraft will take the runway to backtrack but also part of the taxitracks. A left side window view offers views of the southern ramps. However, a right hand side seat provides a view of the northern ramp and An-32s. So travel in pairs ;-)
