Weather Briefing
VFRAden International Airport is currently reporting visual flight rules (VFR) conditions with few clouds at 1,800 feet and 10 miles or greater visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the east-southeast (110°) at 12 knots. Runway 08/26 is favored with a 10-knot headwind and 6-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is unrestricted. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: few at 1,800 ft.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 33°C (91°F) with a dewpoint of 22°C, indicating relatively dry conditions. High temperatures at this elevation may result in significant density altitude effects. Pilots should calculate density altitude and adjust performance expectations accordingly.
Pilot Recommendations
Conditions are favorable for visual flight.

About Aden International Airport
Overview
Aden International Airport serves the port city of Aden in Yemen, positioned at 12.829500, 45.028801 with a low elevation of 7 ft MSL. As a medium airport, it supports regional and international air traffic in a strategically important coastal location. The airport features a single runway 08/26 extending 10,171 feet with an asphalt surface.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions are predominantly VFR, with 61% of observations reporting visual flight rules and 36.9% marginal VFR. The prevailing wind from the east (90°) averages 10.3 knots, with occasional strong gusts up to 211 knots. Temperature ranges from 20°C to 39°C, with an average of 28.5°C, indicating consistently warm operational conditions.
Notable Features
The airport's low elevation near sea level suggests minimal terrain interference for approaches and departures. Its coastal positioning implies potential maritime weather influences, though the statistical data indicates stable visibility averaging 10 statute miles with no reported fog events. The consistent easterly winds provide predictable wind patterns for pilots.
Approach Considerations
Runway 08/26 demonstrates highly favorable wind alignment, with 100% wind compatibility and an average crosswind of only 3.2 knots. November, October, and December represent the best months for visual flight conditions. Pilots can expect reliable approach conditions with minimal meteorological complications based on historical METAR observations.
