About Şanlıurfa GAP Airport

Şanlıurfa GAP Airport lies in the temperate mid-latitudes at 37.45° N, 38.90° E, on Europe/Istanbul time (UTC+3).

Şanlıurfa GAP Airport has 1 runway. The longest, 04/22, measures 13,123 ft by 148 ft, which puts the field in the full-length intercontinental category: a fully loaded Boeing 777 or Airbus A350 can depart for the far side of the world. The surface is asphalt. 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.
