Zante Airport

JonF
From lots of personal but dated experience of Zante. As you clearly know wind will generally dictate RW in use but even when34 in use and wind acceptable and departing traffic permitting , a/c arriving from north will generally opt off or 16 for more expeditious approach. There are restrictions on descent and issue with controller handover etc for this. Similarly even when 16 in use, A/c routing north will frequently request 34 wind and arriving traffic permitting. In fact this is common at many airports and usually weather is CAVOK or near but not essential.
