About Milas Bodrum International Airport

Overview

Milas Bodrum International Airport serves the popular Aegean coastal region of Turkey, located near the city of Bodrum. As a large international airport with dual concrete runways, it supports significant commercial and tourist air traffic in southwestern Turkey. The airport sits at a low elevation of 21 feet mean sea level, providing relatively straightforward terrain conditions for aircraft operations.

Flying Conditions

Statistical data indicates highly favorable VFR conditions 91.6% of the time, with minimal IFR or LIFR occurrences. Wind patterns predominantly come from the southeast at an average of 6.8 knots, with occasional gusts up to 26 knots. Temperature ranges from -2°C to 36°C, with an average of 15.4°C, suggesting potential for significant thermal variations throughout the year.

Notable Features

Both runways (10L/28R and 10R/28L) offer nearly identical operational characteristics, with lengths around 9,800 feet and 100% favorable wind alignment. The airport's coastal location near the Aegean Sea likely introduces maritime meteorological influences, potentially creating localized wind and visibility conditions. Low elevation and flat surrounding terrain suggest generally stable approach environments.

Approach Considerations

Prevailing southeasterly winds at 135 degrees create consistent crosswind conditions averaging 3.7 knots across both runways. September through November represent the most consistent VFR months, offering optimal flying conditions. Pilots should anticipate excellent visibility averaging 10 statute miles, with minimal fog occurrence (1.4%) and rarely restricted visual conditions.
