About Bremen Airport

Overview

Bremen Airport serves northern Germany as a medium-sized airport located in the city of Bremen. Situated at 14 feet above mean sea level with coordinates 53.046786, 8.789320, the airport provides critical aviation infrastructure for the region. Its two asphalted runways (05/23 at 2297ft and 09/27 at 8642ft) support diverse aviation operations.

Flying Conditions

Pilots should expect highly variable weather conditions, with visual flight rules (VFR) conditions prevalent 53.3% of the time. Marginal VFR occurs 23% of observations, while instrument conditions (IFR/LIFR) account for nearly 24% of weather scenarios. Temperature ranges dramatically from -13°C to 28°C, with an average of 7.1°C, suggesting significant seasonal temperature variations.

Notable Features

The airport's wind characteristics are consistently southwest-oriented, with prevailing winds at 225° and an average speed of 8.4 knots. Both runways demonstrate excellent wind alignment, showing 100% favorable wind conditions. The maximum recorded wind speed is 25 knots, with calm conditions extremely rare at only 0.1% of observations.

Approach Considerations

September, October, and December represent the most favorable VFR months for operations. Average crosswind components remain manageable at 4.5 knots for runway 05/23 and 4.8 knots for runway 09/27. Visibility typically exceeds 10 statute miles, with fog present in only 7.4% of observations, generally providing good approach conditions.
