About Patras Araxos Agamemnon Airport

Overview

Patras Araxos Agamemnon Airport serves the Patras region in western Greece, functioning as a medium-sized airport situated at 46 feet mean sea level. Located at coordinates 38.151100, 21.425600, the airport provides critical aviation infrastructure for the region with its two substantial runways, each approximately 11,000 feet in length.

Flying Conditions

Weather conditions at Patras Araxos are predominantly favorable for visual flight rules (VFR), with 91.6% of observations supporting clear flying conditions. The airport experiences a moderate temperature range from -2°C to 34°C, with an average of 16.4°C. Prevailing winds from the northeast (45°) average 8.2 knots, with occasional gusts up to 40 knots, though calm conditions occur 49.2% of the time.

Notable Features

Both runways (18L/36R and 18R/36L) are equally well-positioned with 100% favorable wind alignment and consistent average crosswind conditions of 4.6 knots. The airport's relatively low elevation of 46 feet MSL contributes to stable approach and departure characteristics, with consistently high visibility averaging 10 statute miles.

Approach Considerations

September, November, and December represent the best months for VFR operations, offering optimal flying conditions. Pilots can expect predictable wind patterns with northeastern prevalence, minimal visibility restrictions, and no reported fog events. The dual parallel runways provide flexible approach options with nearly identical operational parameters.
