About Corfu Ioannis Kapodistrias International Airport

Overview

Corfu Ioannis Kapodistrias International Airport serves the Ionian island of Kerkyra in Greece, providing critical air transportation infrastructure for this Mediterranean tourism and regional connectivity hub. Located at a low elevation of 6 feet MSL, the airport supports medium-sized aircraft operations with its 7,792-foot asphalt runway.

Flying Conditions

The airport experiences predominantly VFR conditions 81.6% of the time, with minimal IFR or LIFR occurrences. Wind patterns are consistently from the southeast (135°) at an average of 8.9 knots, with occasional gusts up to 27 knots and calm conditions present 37.3% of the time. Temperature ranges from 1°C to 32°C, with an average of 16.2°C, providing generally stable flying conditions throughout the year.

Notable Features

The airport's single runway (16/34) offers favorable wind alignment, with crosswinds averaging only 4.8 knots. Its low elevation and coastal location suggest potential for maritime environmental influences, including potential sea breezes and localized wind variations typical of island airports. Pilots should anticipate consistent southeastern wind patterns when planning approaches and departures.

Approach Considerations

September, October, and December represent the best VFR months for operations, offering optimal visibility averaging 10 statute miles. The runway's orientation and prevailing wind conditions from 135° suggest runway 16/34 will typically provide the most favorable wind alignment for most approaches, minimizing crosswind challenges during landing and takeoff.
