About Enontekio Airport
Enontekio Airport is an airport with the ICAO code EFET and the IATA code ENF. Country: Finland. Nearest settlement listed in the database: Enontekio. OurAirports classifies it as a medium-sized airport. Its ICAO code starts with the EF prefix, which marks airports in Finland. The four-letter code EFET is used in flight operations and weather reports, while the three-letter IATA code ENF is used for ticketing and baggage handling. The airport reference point sits at 68°21'45"N, 23°25'27"E, at an elevation of 1,005 ft (306 m) above sea level. The applicable time zone is Europe/Helsinki.

| Threshold | Course | Length | Width | Surface |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 03 | 30° | 2,001 m (6,565 ft) | 45 m (148 ft) | asphalt |
| 21 | 210° |
The course is derived from the runway designator (number × 10), not from a survey - the actual magnetic bearing can differ by a few degrees.
Declared distances (TORA, TODA, ASDA, LDA) are published in the national AIP - they are not part of this table.
Climate at Enontekio Airport - statistics from METAR reports
What the METAR reports from EFET for 2023-2025 show - counted hour by hour.
We computed these statistics from 26,153 METAR reports issued by EFET in 2023-2025. VFR conditions prevailed 67% of the time, MVFR 15% and IFR or LIFR 18%. Best month for VFR flying: May (85% of hours VFR). Most IFR and LIFR hours: February (33%).
Through the day, IFR or LIFR conditions are most frequent around 04:00 UTC (25% of reports at that hour) and least frequent around 14:00 UTC (12%).
Fog (FG) was reported on 27 days a year on average, most often in August. Thunderstorms (TS) occurred on 8 days a year on average, and snowfall on 153.
The wind most often blows from S (180°) - 16% of reports. Calm (0 kt) made up <1% of reports, and gusts of 25 kt or more appeared in 1%. Warmest month: July (average high 19.6 °C); coldest: January (average low -18.8 °C).

Runway headings and wind
The thresholds are oriented as follows: 03/21 on 30° and 210° magnetic. A threshold designator is its magnetic heading divided by ten (ICAO Annex 14), so the runway axis can be read straight off the numbers.
For the 03/21 axis, wind from the south-east (around 120°) or from the north-west (around 300°) blows perpendicular to the runway and produces the largest crosswind component. Wind from around 30° or 210° acts along the runway, as a headwind or a tailwind. The decoder on this page computes those components automatically from the current METAR.
METAR and TAF for EFET
Weather reports for Enontekio Airport are published under the ICAO code EFET. A METAR is an observation of current conditions, usually issued every 30 or 60 minutes; a TAF is a forecast for the airport area, typically covering 9 to 30 hours.
The decoder breaks the EFET report down into its parts: wind direction and speed including gusts and variability, visibility (including CAVOK and directional minimum visibility), weather phenomena by WMO code, cloud layers with their bases, temperature and dew point, QNH pressure, and the resulting flight category - VFR, MVFR, IFR or LIFR - using FAA thresholds.
Not every airport issues its own reports; many smaller airfields have no weather station. If no current data is available for EFET, check the nearby airports listed below.
Reports always use UTC (the Z suffix). The Europe/Helsinki zone is GMT+02:00 in winter and GMT+03:00 in summer - that is the shift to apply to the time in the report to get local time at the airport.
The closest airports in the database, measured in a straight line from the reference point, are Kautokeino Airfield (ENKA, 77 km), Aavahelukka Airfield (EFAA, 87 km), Kittilä International Airport (EFKT, 94 km). When no report is available for EFET, they usually give the best approximation of conditions in the area.
