As a medium-sized airport with a single runway, it provides essential transportation infrastructure for this remote maritime region. The airport's 6,561-foot asphalt runway supports regional commercial and general aviation operations.

Flying Conditions

Weather at Fukue Airport predominantly supports visual flight rules (VFR), with 90.4% of observations confirming favorable conditions. Wind patterns are consistently northerly, averaging 8.8 knots with occasional gusts up to 24 knots. Temperature variations are moderate, ranging from 1°C to 32°C, with an average of 16.8°C, making the airport suitable for year-round operations.

Notable Features

Situated at 273 feet mean sea level, Fukue Airport offers relatively flat terrain typical of island environments. The airport's geographical coordinates (32.666302, 128.832993) place it in a maritime setting with potential for complex local wind dynamics. Pilots should anticipate potential maritime weather influences due to the island's coastal location.

Approach Considerations

Runway 03/21 experiences highly favorable wind conditions, with 100% compatibility and an average crosswind of just 4.6 knots. November through January represent the most consistent VFR months, providing optimal approach and departure conditions. Pilots can expect excellent visibility, with an average of 10 statute miles and minimal instances of reduced visual conditions.
