About Sitia Airport
Overview
Sitia Airport serves the eastern region of Crete Island, providing critical transportation infrastructure for the local area. Located at coordinates 35.216099, 26.101299, this medium-sized airport supports regional and seasonal air traffic with its single runway configuration.
Flying Conditions
Being situated on Crete Island, Sitia Airport experiences Mediterranean climate conditions with potential wind variations typical of coastal environments. The airport's elevation of 376 ft MSL indicates a relatively low-altitude terrain that may influence local wind patterns and approach characteristics.
Notable Features
The airport features a single runway (05/23) measuring 6,804 feet with an asphalt surface, suitable for medium-sized aircraft operations. Its geographic position on Crete's eastern coastline suggests potential exposure to maritime wind influences and potential thermal dynamics during daytime operations.
Approach Considerations
Runway 05/23's substantial length of 6,804 feet provides flexibility for various aircraft types and approach scenarios. Pilots should anticipate potential crosswind conditions given the airport's coastal location, and carefully evaluate wind directions relative to the runway's 05/23 orientation during planning and approach phases.
