Reply to comment by sparky22- in TIL: Airplanes take off and land into the wind. They takeoff into the wind to reduce the groundspeed required to lift and land into it to reduce groundspeed when landing. by Key-Code-4296

Then they take off on whatever runway they want, preferably the one pointing closest to their destination. Runways are long enough you can take off and land without a headwind, the wind just makes it a little easier.
