KGEG by the numbers
What the long-run records say about flying here, computed for this airport alone.
The FAA issued 1 ground stop and 0 ground delay programs for GEG between October 2025 and October 2026, affecting 1 day. The reason was other or unspecified. The ground stop lasted about 28 min.
KGEG reported VFR in 83% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 269 flyable days a year. July is the most reliable month and December the least, with IFR or worse 35% of the time. When conditions drop it is usually a mix of low ceilings (under 1,000 ft 8% of hours) and low visibility (under 3 miles 8%).
Over 20 years of hourly winds, runway 21 had the best headwind 51% of the time, runway 03 23%, and winds were calm 13% of hours. Winds most often blow from the south-southwest. Crosswind on the best available runway topped 15 kt in under 1% of hours.
Snow fell on about 58 days a year and freezing rain or drizzle on 7. From December to February KGEG was IFR or worse 31% of the time, against 1% from June to August.
GEG departures left within 15 minutes of schedule 85% of the time across 18,655 flights, June 2025 to May 2026. Before 9 AM departures did best (94%) and noon to 3 PM did worst (77%).
Over the last 30 days of recorded tower TFDM broadcasts, KGEG ran southwest flow 100% of the time. Runway 21 was named for arrivals most often (100% of recorded hours), and the configuration changed 1 time.
