The airport handles significant passenger traffic, particularly during peak tourism seasons, and provides critical transportation infrastructure for the region. Its single runway of 9,842 feet accommodates large commercial aircraft with ample operational capacity.

Flying Conditions

Pilots can expect predominantly favorable visual flight conditions, with 92.5% of observations indicating VFR weather. Temperature variations range from 1°C to 36°C, with an average of 16.2°C, suggesting significant seasonal temperature differences. Wind patterns are consistently from the northeast at an average of 7.3 knots, with maximum gusts up to 30 knots, requiring modest crosswind management skills.

Notable Features

The airport is situated at a low elevation of 20 feet mean sea level, indicating minimal terrain challenges for approach and departure. Its coastal location near the Mediterranean suggests potential maritime meteorological influences, though the statistical data shows extremely low occurrence of fog (0.2%) and consistently good visibility averaging 10 statute miles. The concrete runway (01/19) provides stable surface conditions across varying weather scenarios.

Approach Considerations

Runway 01/19 demonstrates highly favorable wind alignment, with 100% wind compatibility and an average crosswind of only 3.5 knots. September, October, and November represent the most consistent VFR months, offering optimal flying conditions. Pilots should anticipate stable approach conditions with minimal weather-related operational restrictions based on the comprehensive meteorological profile.
