About Mihail Kogălniceanu International Airport

Mihail Kogălniceanu International Airport lies in the temperate mid-latitudes at 44.36° N, 28.49° E, on Europe/Bucharest time (UTC+2).

Mihail Kogălniceanu International Airport has 1 runway. The longest, 18/36, measures 11,483 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 18/36 is aligned roughly south/north, 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 south/north alignment, so a strong crosswind means a crosswind landing rather than a switch to another strip.
