METAR/TAF log
Aviation weather reports issued in the last 24 hours, newest first. Times are the airport’s local time (currently UTC+1), with UTC alongside. METAR is the routine report, SPECI a special report issued when the weather changes significantly, and TAF the aerodrome forecast.
No reports recorded in the last 24 hours.
Reports are kept for 30 days; the last 7 days are available from the API.
Live air traffic
The airport is outside the live data fetch area: no data is fetched for aircraft around it, so they may not appear on the live map.
Flight counts, delays and cancellations
Not available yet. Daily departure and arrival counts, delays and cancellations need airline schedule data, which havayolu does not use yet. ADS-B only shows where an aircraft is; it cannot tell a flight’s scheduled time, delay or cancellation. This page therefore does not show or estimate them. For the status of your flight, check with your airline or the airport operator.
Landings and take-offs observed through ADS-B, and the runways in use, will be added in a later version, shown as “observed” movements rather than schedules. For the limits of ADS-B, see the About page.

Bearings are relative to true north; runway names come from the magnetic bearing.
A displaced runway threshold means landings start this far along the runway rather than at its beginning.
