About Burgas Airport

Burgas Airport lies in the temperate mid-latitudes at 42.57° N, 27.52° E, on Europe/Sofia time (UTC+3).

Burgas Airport has 1 runway. The longest, 04/22, measures 10,499 ft by 148 ft, which puts the field in the long-haul capable category: widebodies operate comfortably, though the very longest sectors may need a payload trade. The surface is concrete. It is lit for night operations.

Runway 04/22 is aligned roughly north-east/south-west, which is the clearest hint you get about the prevailing wind here: runways are built to face the wind that blows most often, because aircraft take off and land into it. Every runway here shares that north-east/south-west alignment, so a strong crosswind means a crosswind landing rather than a switch to another strip.
