About Kaunas International Airport

Kaunas International Airport lies in the temperate mid-latitudes at 54.96° N, 24.09° E, on Europe/Vilnius time (UTC+3).

Kaunas International Airport has 1 runway. The longest, 08/26, measures 10,663 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 asphalt. It is lit for night operations.

Runway 08/26 is aligned roughly east/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 east/west alignment, so a strong crosswind means a crosswind landing rather than a switch to another strip.
