When the interesting traffic peaks.Where to spot
Runway threshold
The capital's airport and a steadily growing mix. The signature vantage point for arrivals — best light in the afternoon, aircraft low and overhead.
Terminal viewing terrace
Comfortable overview of the apron and taxiways — a good place to start and to log registrations between banks.
Respect private property, signage and the airport security perimeter. Spotterra predicts the active runway from live weather on the dashboard.
What you'll see
Expect European narrowbodies (A320 family, 737) all day, long-haul A330/777/787 on the banks, the odd freighter and business jets on the GA apron. Exactly the mix where a rare tail hides — and where Spotterra earns its keep.
