Quarterly & annual operations reports

In Q3 2026, flight operations were up by 3% compared to Q3 2025.
Runway configurations are used that can best accommodate traffic conditions. This can change as traffic levels and operations change. In Q3 2026 we saw a 10%-point increase in usage of dual runway operations, as well as a 2.4%-point increase in triple runway operations. Learn more about how runways are used and what the different configurations mean here.
During the preferential hours (midnight to 6:30 a.m.), there was 24% more traffic than in Q3 2025. This amounts to approx. 1454 more flights.
In Q3 2026, 96.6% of operations used the east-west runways compared to 96.4% east-west operations in Q3 2025. There is a regular variation in runway usage that can be attributed to airfield maintenance work/construction and weather/wind conditions. To find out more visit our website here.
- Winds in the region are predominantly east/west, however there will always be some variation in the percentage of westerly vs easterly operations. The north/south runways are used when the weather necessitates it or to accommodate airfield work.
