About Aalborg Airport

Overview

Aalborg Airport serves the metropolitan area of Aalborg in northern Denmark, functioning as a significant regional transportation hub. Located at an elevation of 10 ft MSL, the airport offers two substantial runways capable of handling medium-sized aircraft operations. Its strategic positioning and dual-runway configuration support diverse aviation needs for commercial, cargo, and general aviation traffic.

Flying Conditions

The airport experiences variable weather conditions, with Visual Flight Rules (VFR) predominating approximately 34% of observed periods. Statistically, pilots can expect moderate wind conditions averaging 8.9 knots, primarily from the southern quadrant at 180 degrees. Temperature ranges broadly from -15°C to 22°C, with an average of 5.3°C, suggesting significant seasonal temperature variations that could impact aircraft performance.

Notable Features

Both runways (08L/26R and 08R/26L) demonstrate excellent wind alignment, with 100% favorable wind coverage and consistent average crosswind conditions of 5.7 knots. The airport's low elevation of 10 ft MSL provides relatively straightforward terrain considerations. September through November represent the most favorable VFR months, offering more stable meteorological conditions for flight operations.

Approach Considerations

Pilots should anticipate predominantly southern wind patterns when planning approaches. The airport's two parallel runways (08L/26R at 8707 ft and 08R/26L at 8363 ft) provide flexible landing options with similar wind characteristics. While fog occurs in 8.6% of observations, visibility typically remains excellent, averaging 10 statute miles, which supports consistent approach and landing procedures.
