Venice Marco Polo Airport lies in the temperate mid-latitudes at 45.51° N, 12.35° E, on Europe/Rome time (UTC+1).
Venice Marco Polo Airport has 2 runways. The longest, 04R/22L, measures 10,827 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. Both are lit for night operations.
Runway 04R/22L 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.
The runways are not interchangeable. 04L/22R is 9,121 ft against 04R/22L's 10,827 ft, a difference of 1,706 ft, so the shorter one generally takes regional traffic while the longer handles anything heavy.
At 7 ft the field is effectively at sea level, which is the friendliest case for aircraft performance: maximum lift, maximum thrust and the shortest takeoff runs an aircraft is capable of.
