About Visby Airport
Overview
Visby Airport serves the island of Gotland in southeastern Sweden, providing essential regional air connectivity. Located at an elevation of 164 feet MSL, the airport supports medium-sized aircraft operations with two runways accommodating diverse aviation needs. Its strategic position makes it a critical transportation hub for the island's maritime region.
Flying Conditions
Weather conditions at Visby Airport demonstrate significant variability, with Visual Flight Rules (VFR) prevailing 57.7% of the time. Pilots can expect predominantly southerly winds averaging 10.4 knots, with temperature ranges from -10°C to 22°C. September through November offer the most consistent VFR conditions, with minimal fog occurrence (1.4%) and typically excellent visibility averaging 10 statute miles.
Notable Features
The airport features two runways with different surface compositions: Runway 03/21 is asphalted and 6,562 feet long, while Runway 10/28 is grass-surfaced and 3,611 feet in length. Both runways demonstrate 100% favorable wind alignment, with modest average crosswind components of 6-7.3 knots. The island's coastal location likely influences local wind and weather patterns.
Approach Considerations
Given the prevailing southerly winds, pilots should anticipate approaches primarily to Runways 03 and 28. Both runways offer consistent wind alignment, minimizing challenging crosswind scenarios. The broad range of flight conditions—from VFR (57.7%) to Marginal VFR (25%)—suggests pilots should maintain flexible approach planning and be prepared for potential weather transitions.
