About Gdańsk Lech Wałęsa Airport

Gdańsk Lech Wałęsa Airport lies in the temperate mid-latitudes at 54.38° N, 18.47° E, on Europe/Warsaw time (UTC+2).

Gdańsk Lech Wałęsa Airport has 1 runway. The longest, 11/29, measures 9,186 ft by 148 ft, which puts the field in the widebody capable category: twin-aisle aircraft can use it, and narrowbodies have length to spare. The surface is asphalt. It is lit for night operations.

Runway 11/29 is aligned roughly south-east/north-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 south-east/north-west alignment, so a strong crosswind means a crosswind landing rather than a switch to another strip.
