About Thisted Airport

Overview

Thisted Airport serves the North Jutland region of Denmark, providing critical aviation infrastructure for regional transportation and general aviation. Located at coordinates 57.068802, 8.705220, the airport offers a strategically positioned medium-sized facility for pilots operating in the northeastern Danish coastal area.

Flying Conditions

Situated at a low elevation of 23 feet MSL, Thisted Airport experiences maritime influenced weather typical of the North Sea coastal environment. The airport's single runway (10/28) measuring 5,249 feet with an asphalt surface provides reliable operational capabilities across varying seasonal conditions.

Notable Features

The airport's geographical position near the Limfjord region presents unique terrain considerations for pilots, with potential maritime wind patterns and coastal atmospheric interactions. Its single runway oriented at 10/28 allows flexibility for approaches and departures based on prevailing wind conditions.

Approach Considerations

Runway 10/28's substantial 5,249-foot length accommodates a wide range of aircraft types and provides generous landing and takeoff margins. Pilots should anticipate potential crosswind components due to the airport's coastal location, and plan approach strategies considering the runway's longitudinal orientation relative to typical regional wind patterns.
