The airport's runway is (9/27) and is {{convert|11178|ft}} long. Runway 9/27 became operational from 15 September 2016 to handle bigger aircraft like the [[Boeing 747]] to take off and land from Jaipur Airport after the completion of the runway extension from {{convert|9174|ft}} to {{convert|11178|ft}} in order to handle [[Boeing 777]]s.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://m.timesofindia.com/city/jaipur/Jaipur-airport-set-to-handle-bigger-planes/articleshow/54301857.cms |title=Jaipur airport set to handle bigger planes | Jaipur News - Times of India |publisher=M.timesofindia.com |date=2016-09-13 |access-date=2017-11-30}}</ref> The runway 9/27 is CAT-IIIB [[instrument landing system]] (ILS) compliant. This facilitates the landing of aircraft on a runway visibility range (RVR) of up to {{convert|50|m}} during fog. Earlier this was {{convert|550|m}}, benefiting airlines in terms of increased safety and avoiding diversions to other airports resulting in better operational and environmental efficiency.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://m.timesofindia.com/city/jaipur/Trial-of-CAT-IIIB-lighting-system-at-airport-from-December8/articleshow/55281285.cms |title=Trial of CAT-IIIB lighting system at airport from December 8 | Jaipur News - Times of India |publisher=M.timesofindia.com |date=2016-11-07 |access-date=2017-11-30}}</ref>
CAT III B became operational from December 8, 2016.
