About Vaasa Airport
Overview
Vaasa Airport serves the western coastal region of Finland, providing critical aviation infrastructure for the Ostrobothnia region. Located at 63.050701, 21.762199 and elevated at 19 ft MSL, this medium-sized airport supports regional and commercial aviation operations. The airport features two asphalt runways capable of handling diverse aircraft types.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at Vaasa Airport are characterized by significant variability, with Visual Flight Rules (VFR) conditions present 51% of the time. Temperature ranges from -22°C to 24°C, averaging 2.1°C, which creates potential for challenging winter operations. Wind patterns predominantly originate from the south at 180° with an average speed of 7.4 knots, occasionally reaching maximum gusts of 33 knots.
Notable Features
Both runways demonstrate excellent wind alignment, with 16/34 and 11/29 offering 100% favorable wind conditions. The airport experiences minimal calm wind periods, with only 0.6% of observations showing no wind movement. Visibility averages 10 statute miles, with fog present in 4.9% of observations and rare instances of visibility below 3 statute miles.
Approach Considerations
Pilots should anticipate consistent crosswind conditions, averaging 5 knots on runway 11/29 and 4.2 knots on runway 16/34. September, January, and October represent the most favorable months for Visual Flight Rules operations. Low Instrument Flight Rules (LIFR) conditions occur in 11.4% of observations, suggesting potential need for instrument approach planning during certain periods.
