About Ordu–Giresun Airport

Overview

Ordu–Giresun Airport serves the northeastern coastal region of Turkey, located at an elevation of 11 ft MSL near the Black Sea. The medium-sized airport provides critical transportation infrastructure for the Ordu and Giresun provinces, connecting the region to broader Turkish and international air networks.

Flying Conditions

Statistical data indicates highly favorable VFR conditions, with 74.3% of observations showing clear flying weather. The airport experiences a moderate temperature range from -2°C to 29°C, with an average of 13.5°C. Prevailing southwest winds at 6.6 knots create generally stable atmospheric conditions, with calm periods occurring in 22.1% of observations.

Notable Features

The single runway 10/28 stretches 9,848 feet and is constructed of asphalt, providing substantial operational flexibility for various aircraft types. Its coastal location suggests potential for rapidly changing maritime weather conditions, though the historical data demonstrates consistent visibility averaging 10 statute miles with no recorded significant fog events.

Approach Considerations

Runway 10/28 offers excellent wind alignment, with 100% favorable wind conditions and an average crosswind of just 4.8 knots. Pilots will find the most consistent VFR conditions during autumn months (September, October, November), which statistically present the most stable flying weather for arrivals and departures.
