About Saga Airport
Overview
Saga Airport serves the Saga Prefecture region in southwestern Japan, located near the island of Kyushu. As a medium-sized airport with an elevation of 6 feet MSL, it provides critical transportation infrastructure for the local area, supporting both regional and potentially limited commercial aviation operations.
Flying Conditions
The airport experiences predominantly VFR conditions, with 92.7% of observations reporting favorable visual flight rules. Temperature ranges from -3°C to 33°C create varied seasonal flying environments, while prevailing northerly winds at an average of 6.3 knots provide generally stable atmospheric conditions. Visibility consistently remains excellent, averaging 10 statute miles with minimal instances of reduced visibility.
Notable Features
Situated at coordinates 33.149700, 130.302002, Saga Airport features a single runway (11/29) measuring 6,562 feet with an asphalt surface. The airport's low elevation and coastal proximity suggest potential for smooth terrain approaches and minimal altitude-related performance considerations for aircraft operations.
Approach Considerations
Runway 11/29 demonstrates 100% favorable wind alignment, with an average crosswind of only 4.2 knots. Pilots can expect optimal approach conditions, particularly during peak VFR months of October, November, and January, when meteorological conditions are most consistently stable and predictable.
