About Kerry Airport
Overview
Kerry Airport serves the southwestern region of Ireland, located in Farranfore, County Kerry. Situated at 112 feet above mean sea level, the airport provides critical transportation infrastructure for the county, supporting regional and general aviation operations. The airport features two asphalt runways: a shorter 4,035ft runway (07/25) and a longer 6,562ft runway (08/26).
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at Kerry Airport are predominantly suitable for visual flight rules (VFR), with 59.7% of observations in VFR conditions and an additional 35.7% in marginal VFR. Winds are predominantly from the south at an average of 8.8 knots, with maximum gusts reaching 34 knots. The temperature range spans from -5°C to 20°C, with an average of 10.1°C, suggesting potential for variable weather conditions.
Notable Features
Kerry Airport is positioned at coordinates 52.180901, -9.523780 in a region characterized by varied terrain typical of southwestern Ireland. Both runways demonstrate excellent wind alignment, with 100% favorable wind coverage and modest average crosswind components of 4.8 and 5.2 knots for runways 07/25 and 08/26 respectively. The airport's moderate elevation and geographic location contribute to its relatively stable operational environment.
Approach Considerations
Pilots should anticipate predominantly southern winds when planning approaches, with an extremely low occurrence of calm conditions (2.8%). The longer runway 08/26 provides more landing flexibility with its 6,562ft length. September, January, and December represent the months with statistically best visual flying conditions, offering optimal approach environments.
