About Adnan Menderes International Airport

Overview

Adnan Menderes International Airport serves the Izmir metropolitan area in western Turkey, located in Gaziemir near the Aegean coast. Situated at 412 feet above mean sea level, the airport features two parallel runways each measuring 10,630 feet, capable of handling large commercial and cargo aircraft operations.

Flying Conditions

The airport experiences predominantly favorable visual flight conditions, with VFR conditions present 88.2% of the time. Temperature ranges from -6°C to 35°C, with an average of 14°C, providing relatively stable operational environments. Wind patterns are primarily northerly at an average of 9 knots, with maximum gusts up to 24 knots and only 3.5% calm wind periods.

Notable Features

The airport's dual parallel runways (16L/34R and 16R/34L) offer flexible operational capabilities with identical lengths and identical favorable wind alignment. Both runways demonstrate consistent crosswind characteristics, averaging 3.1 knots. The airport's elevation and coastal proximity likely contribute to its predictable meteorological profile.

Approach Considerations

Pilots can expect excellent visual conditions, with visibility averaging 10 statute miles and minimal occurrences of restricted visibility. September, October, and January represent the most consistent VFR months. The uniform runway orientation and low average crosswinds suggest straightforward approach and landing scenarios for most aircraft types.
