About Liepāja International Airport
Overview
Liepāja International Airport serves the western Latvian coastal city of Liepāja, positioned at an elevation of 16 feet MSL. The airport operates a single runway (06/24) measuring 6,568 feet in length, capable of supporting medium-sized aircraft operations. Its strategic location on Latvia's western coastline provides important regional aviation connectivity.
Flying Conditions
Statistical data indicates predominantly favorable VFR conditions, with 54.7% of observations supporting visual flight rules. The airport experiences a moderate maritime climate, with temperatures ranging from -19°C to 23°C and an average of 4.9°C. Wind patterns are consistently southerly (180°), averaging 7.9 knots with occasional gusts up to 25 knots, presenting mild to moderate wind challenges.
Notable Features
Located near the Baltic Sea coast, Liepāja Airport's geographical positioning influences its weather patterns and operational characteristics. The airport's single runway (06/24) demonstrates excellent wind alignment, with 100% favorable wind conditions and an average crosswind of only 4.8 knots. Low fog occurrence (0.7%) and consistently good visibility (average 10 statute miles) contribute to reliable flight operations.
Approach Considerations
Pilots can expect optimal flying conditions during September, October, and January, which represent the best VFR months statistically. The runway's orientation and wind statistics suggest minimal wind-related approach complications. With calm wind conditions present 2.1% of the time and predictable southerly winds, most approaches can be planned with high confidence in standard meteorological parameters.
