Weather Briefing

VFR

Ibiza Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with clear skies.

Wind Analysis

Winds are from the east-northeast (70°) at 4 knots.

Visibility & Ceiling

Skies are clear with unlimited ceiling.

Temperature & Moisture

Temperature is 18°C (64°F) with a dewpoint of 16°C. The temperature-dewpoint spread is very narrow, indicating saturated or near-saturated air. Fog formation or low cloud development is likely.

Forecast Outlook

The TAF forecast covers the next 24 hours. Conditions are expected to fluctuate between VFR and MVFR. VFR pilots should be prepared for deteriorating conditions. Temporary VFR conditions are forecast between 18:00Z and 21:00Z. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast between 18:00Z and 21:00Z.

Pilot Recommendations

Conditions are favorable for visual flight. The narrow temperature-dewpoint spread creates risk of fog formation, particularly during evening and early morning hours. The forecast indicates conditions may deteriorate. Ensure you have fuel reserves and a viable alternate airport.

This briefing is generated from real-time METAR and TAF data. Always verify with official sources before flight.

About Ibiza Airport

Overview

Ibiza Airport serves as the primary airport for the Balearic Island of Ibiza, located in the Mediterranean Sea off the eastern coast of Spain. Situated at a low elevation of 24 ft MSL, the airport is strategically positioned to handle significant air traffic, particularly during the tourist-heavy summer season. As a large airport, it supports commercial passenger and charter operations for this popular tourist destination.

Flying Conditions

The airport's Mediterranean coastal location suggests variable wind conditions that can impact flight operations. With a single runway (06/24) measuring 9,186 feet in length, the asphalt surface provides substantial landing and takeoff capabilities for most commercial aircraft. Pilots should anticipate potential thermal and sea breeze effects common to island airports, which can create localized wind shear and turbulence.

Notable Features

Positioned at coordinates 38.872898, 1.373120, the airport is surrounded by relatively flat terrain typical of the Balearic Islands. The low elevation minimizes significant terrain-related challenges for approaches and departures. Its geographical position means aircraft will frequently operate over water during initial climb or final approach phases, requiring standard maritime navigation considerations.

Approach Considerations

The single runway (06/24) suggests wind direction will be a primary factor in determining preferred approach and departure directions. Pilots should carefully review current wind reports to select the most advantageous runway heading. Given the airport's coastal location, standard maritime approach procedures and potential crosswind considerations should be carefully evaluated during flight planning.
