Milas Bodrum International Airport (LTFE)

Milas Bodrum International Airport at a glance

Milas Bodrum International Airport is a large airport in Bodrum, Muğla Province, Turkey, known to airline systems as BJV. The field elevation of 21 ft (6 m) is the number every arriving pilot dials against QNH — circuit heights and initial approach altitudes at LTFE are all figured from it. The airport handles scheduled commercial service, so expect controlled procedures, published approaches and commercial traffic in the pattern.

Of its 2 runways, the longest — 10L/28R — offers 9,843 ft (3000 m) of con surface, with runway lighting for night operations. Runway numbers give magnetic orientation: runway 10L points roughly 100° magnetic.

For the weather side of planning, the live METAR and TAF page for LTFE shows the current observation decoded line by line — wind on an instrument dial, visibility, cloud layers and the resulting flight rules — refreshed continuously from official sources.

Flight-planning notes for Milas Bodrum International Airport

Density altitude is the quiet performance-killer at any field: on a hot day the 21 ft field elevation of Milas Bodrum International Airport can translate into a substantially higher density altitude, stretching take-off rolls and flattening climb rates — run the numbers rather than trusting the feel of a standard day. Expect published instrument procedures, controlled airspace and clearance requirements; slots and handling may apply to general aviation traffic.

Where this data comes from

The reference layer behind this page builds on the OurAirports dataset — a public-domain, community-maintained register of the world's airports that many flight planners and apps rely on — with equity records preserved from documented historical listings where the dataset is silent. Figures are carried as published: elevations as surveyed, coordinates as filed, runway dimensions as recorded. Nothing is estimated to fill a gap, and the whole layer regenerates from source on every site build, so corrections upstream arrive here automatically.
