About Lviv International Airport

Lviv International Airport lies in the temperate mid-latitudes at 49.81° N, 23.96° E, on Europe/Kyiv time (UTC+3).

Lviv International Airport has 1 runway. The longest, 13/31, measures 10,843 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 13/31 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.
