About Kahramanmaraş Airport
Overview
Kahramanmaraş Airport serves the southeastern Turkish city of Kahramanmaraş as a medium-sized regional airport. Located at 37.538826, 36.953522 with an elevation of 1723 ft MSL, the airport provides essential aviation infrastructure for the Kahramanmaraş province. The single runway 08/26 extends 7,546 feet and is constructed of asphalt, supporting various regional and commercial aviation operations.
Flying Conditions
The airport demonstrates predominantly favorable VFR conditions, with 84.1% of observations showing clear weather suitable for visual flight. Pilots can expect stable weather, with an average temperature of 13.1°C and a broad range from -12°C to 36°C. Wind conditions are typically mild, with an average speed of 6.3 knots from the east (90°) and occasional gusts up to 24 knots. September, October, and November offer the most consistently good flying weather.
Notable Features
The airport's single runway (08/26) is aligned to take maximum advantage of the prevailing easterly winds, with 100% wind favorability. Crosswind conditions are generally minimal, averaging just 2.4 knots. The surrounding terrain and regional climate contribute to excellent visibility, with an average of 10 statute miles and extremely rare low-visibility events (fog present in only 1.6% of observations).
Approach Considerations
Given the consistent eastern wind pattern, runway 08 will typically be the preferred approach direction. The wide runway and stable regional weather conditions support reliable flight operations throughout the year. Pilots should anticipate standard VFR conditions and prepare for potential light to moderate easterly winds during arrival and departure phases.
