Located at an elevation of 999 feet MSL, the airport provides critical aviation infrastructure for local and transiting aircraft. Its three runways offer versatile operational capabilities for different aircraft types and wind conditions.

Flying Conditions

The airport experiences diverse weather conditions throughout the year, with Visual Flight Rules (VFR) conditions predominating at 55.2% of observations. Temperature variations are substantial, ranging from -32°C to 29°C, with an average of -4.5°C. Prevailing westerly winds at an average of 9.4 knots characterize the airport's wind profile, with occasional gusts up to 30 knots.

Notable Features
