Current Weather at LTAI
Pilots flying into or out of Antalya Airport should always check the latest METAR (Meteorological Aerodrome Report) before departure.

It includes wind direction and speed, visibility, cloud layers, temperature, dewpoint, and altimeter setting -- everything you need for a safe go/no-go decision.
