Beverly Regional Airport serves the northeast Massachusetts coastal region, strategically located between Boston and the North Shore area. As a medium-sized airport positioned at 107 feet mean sea level, KBVY provides critical general aviation infrastructure for the Greater Boston metropolitan area. The airport features two asphalt runways accommodating various aircraft types and operational needs.

Flying Conditions

Weather conditions at Beverly Regional demonstrate significant VFR prevalence, with 72.4% of observations indicating favorable visual flight rules. Seasonal temperatures range dramatically from -13°C to 28°C, presenting diverse environmental challenges throughout the year. Wind patterns consistently favor westerly directions at an average of 8 knots, with occasional gusts reaching 26 knots and calm periods accounting for 13.4% of observations.

Notable Features

The airport's dual runway configuration (09/27 and 16/34) provides flexibility for different wind conditions, with both runways demonstrating 100% favorable wind alignment. Runway 09/27 measures 5,001 feet in length, while Runway 16/34 extends 4,634 feet, offering substantial operational capabilities for multiple aircraft categories. Elevation at 107 feet MSL indicates a relatively low-altitude coastal terrain environment.
