The airport has two connected terminals opened in different eras. T1, the original building, has twelve departure gates (13–24) handling both Schengen and non-Schengen traffic. T2 opened in early 2021, adding 28 check-in counters and twelve further gates (01–12) primarily for Schengen and domestic flights.

Aegean Airlines, Olympic Air, and Sky Express use SKG as a base and collectively account for the largest share of domestic and regional traffic.

Two active runways serve the airport, with the main runway (10/28) extended to 3,440 metres following a major modernisation completed in 2019.
