About Larnaca International Airport

Overview

Larnaca International Airport (LCLK) is the primary international airport serving Cyprus, located on the southeastern coast of the island. Situated at a low elevation of 8 ft MSL, the airport provides critical aviation infrastructure for commercial and passenger traffic in the region. Its single runway 04/22 measures 9,823 feet in length, constructed with asphalt surface, supporting a wide range of aircraft operations.

Flying Conditions

Cyprus experiences a Mediterranean climate characterized by hot, dry summers and mild winters, which generally provides stable flying conditions. The airport's low elevation and coastal location can create potential wind and visibility variations, particularly during seasonal transitional periods. Pilots should anticipate potential thermal effects and sea breeze patterns that may influence approach and departure conditions.

Notable Features

The airport is positioned near the coastline, with relatively flat surrounding terrain that provides straightforward visual and instrument approaches. Its geographical coordinates (34.875099, 33.624901) place it in a strategically important location for regional aviation connectivity. The long runway length of 9,823 feet accommodates a diverse range of aircraft types, from regional commuters to wide-body international carriers.

Approach Considerations

Runway 04/22's substantial length and asphalt surface offer flexible approach options for various aircraft categories. Prevailing winds and local topography will typically influence runway selection, with pilots recommended to obtain current meteorological information before arrival. The airport's low elevation and coastal positioning suggest potential wind shear or crosswind considerations during approach and landing phases.
