About Zagreb Franjo Tuđman International Airport

Zagreb Franjo Tuđman International Airport lies in the temperate mid-latitudes at 45.74° N, 16.07° E, on Europe/Zagreb time (UTC+2).

Zagreb Franjo Tuđman International Airport has 1 runway. The longest, 04/22, measures 10,669 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 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.
