About San Sebastián Airport

Overview

San Sebastián Airport serves the Basque region in northern Spain, located in Hondarribia near the border with France. Situated at 16 feet above mean sea level, this medium-sized airport provides critical transportation infrastructure for the coastal and mountainous terrain of the region.

Flying Conditions

The airport experiences predominantly VFR conditions, with 83.5% of observations showing clear flying weather and only 3.6% reporting IFR conditions. Wind patterns are consistently from the south at an average of 6.3 knots, with occasional gusts up to 27 knots, and very few periods of calm winds (2.5% of observations).

Notable Features

The single runway 04/22 is 5,755 feet long with an asphalt surface, positioned to take full advantage of the local wind patterns. The airport's location near coastal and mountainous terrain suggests potential for complex local wind and terrain-induced weather variations that pilots should carefully evaluate during preflight planning.

Approach Considerations

Runway 04/22 demonstrates favorable wind conditions, with 100% wind compatibility and an average crosswind of just 3 knots. Pilots should note the temperature range from -3°C to 31°C, which can impact aircraft performance, and that the best VFR flying months are September, October, and November.
