About Swansea Airport
Overview
Swansea Airport serves the southwestern coastal region of Wales, located near the city of Swansea. The airport operates as a medium-sized facility with two runways, providing essential aviation infrastructure for the local and regional transportation needs of the Glamorgan area.
Flying Conditions
As an airport situated at 299 feet above mean sea level, Swansea experiences maritime weather typical of the Welsh coast, with potential for rapid visibility and wind changes. The airport's coastal location suggests potential for variable wind conditions that could impact runway selection and approach strategies.
Notable Features
The airport features two runways: runway 04/22 with a substantial length of 4,429 feet constructed of concrete, and runway 10/28 with a shorter 2,812-foot asphalted surface. The dual runway configuration provides operational flexibility, allowing pilots to select the most appropriate runway based on current wind and weather conditions.
Approach Considerations
Runway orientation suggests potential crosswind scenarios, particularly with the 04/22 and 10/28 alignments. Pilots should anticipate potential wind variability and be prepared to adjust approach and landing techniques accordingly, utilizing the longer concrete runway (04/22) when possible for enhanced operational margins.
