About Iğdır Airport
Overview
Iğdır Airport serves the eastern Turkish province of Iğdır, strategically located near Armenia's border at an elevation of 3101 feet MSL. The medium-sized airport provides critical regional connectivity in a geographically challenging area of northeastern Turkey, supporting both civilian and potential military aviation operations.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at Iğdır Airport demonstrate significant variability, with Visual Flight Rules (VFR) prevailing 70.5% of the time. Pilots can expect predominantly southwestern winds averaging 6.1 knots, with temperature ranges extending from -14°C to 33°C. The most favorable VFR flying months are September, October, and November, offering consistently stable atmospheric conditions.
Notable Features
The airport's single concrete runway (12/30) spans 9,843 feet, accommodating a wide range of aircraft types. Its high-altitude location at 3101 feet MSL presents potential performance considerations for aircraft, particularly during temperature extremes. The surrounding terrain likely includes challenging mountainous landscapes typical of eastern Anatolia.
Approach Considerations
Runway 12/30 demonstrates excellent wind alignment, with favorable wind conditions 100% of the time and an average crosswind component of just 3.9 knots. Pilots should anticipate calm conditions 4.5% of the time, with maximum recorded wind speeds reaching 28 knots. Visibility typically remains excellent, averaging 10 statute miles with minimal fog occurrence.
