Konya Airport is an airport with the ICAO code LTAN and the IATA code KYA. Country: Turkey. Nearest settlement listed in the database: Konya. OurAirports classifies it as a large airport. Its ICAO code starts with the LT prefix, which marks airports in Turkey. The four-letter code LTAN is used in flight operations and weather reports, while the three-letter IATA code KYA is used for ticketing and baggage handling. The airport reference point sits at 37°58'44"N, 32°33'43"E, at an elevation of 3,392 ft (1,034 m) above sea level. The applicable time zone is Europe/Istanbul.

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.
What the METAR reports from LTAN for 2023-2025 show - counted hour by hour.
We computed these statistics from 26,289 METAR reports issued by LTAN in 2023-2025. VFR conditions prevailed 88% of the time, MVFR 8% and IFR or LIFR 5%. Best month for VFR flying: July (100% of hours VFR). Most IFR and LIFR hours: December (21%).
Through the day, IFR or LIFR conditions are most frequent around 06:00 UTC (12% of reports at that hour) and least frequent around 12:00 UTC (1%).
Fog (FG) was reported on 16 days a year on average, most often in January. Thunderstorms (TS) occurred on 28 days a year on average, and snowfall on 16.
The wind most often blows from N (0°) - 20% of reports. Calm (0 kt) made up 2% of reports, and gusts of 25 kt or more appeared in 1%. Warmest month: August (average high 32.5 °C); coldest: February (average low -3.5 °C).
Day counts are for the selected period (for all years - the yearly average).
The top of each bar is the average daily high, the bottom the average daily low (usually around dawn), in °C.
Most often: N - 20% of reports. Each petal shows the direction the wind blows from (as in METAR) - the longer it is, the more often. Colour shows wind speed.

According to OurAirports data (compiled from AIP and FAA sources), Konya Airport has 2 runways: 01L/19R - 3,350 m long (10,990 ft), 45 m wide, asphalt surface; 01R/19L - 3,350 m long (10,990 ft), 45 m wide, asphalt surface.
The longest of them is 01L/19R, at 3,350 m.
The thresholds are oriented as follows: 01L/19R on 10° and 190° magnetic, 01R/19L on 10° and 190° 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 01L/19R axis, wind from the east (around 100°) or from the west (around 280°) blows perpendicular to the runway and produces the largest crosswind component. Wind from around 10° or 190° acts along the runway, as a headwind or a tailwind. The decoder on this page computes those components automatically from the current METAR.
Weather reports for Konya Airport are published under the ICAO code LTAN. 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 LTAN 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 LTAN, check the nearby airports listed below.
Reports always use UTC (the Z suffix). The Europe/Istanbul zone stays at GMT+03:00 year-round, so converting to local time is always the same shift.
The closest airports in the database, measured in a straight line from the reference point, are Isparta Airport (LTBM, 175 km), Gazipaşa-Alanya Airport (LTFG, 188 km), Afyon Air Base (Afyonkarahisar) (LTAH, 190 km). When no report is available for LTAN, they usually give the best approximation of conditions in the area.
