Skiathos Island National Airport guide

The airport sits on the south-east tip of Skiathos, on land reclaimed from the sea between the main island and the islet of Lazareta. It is named after Alexandros Papadiamantis, the novelist born on the island. Fraport AG and the Copelouzos Group run it under a 40-year concession that began on 11 April 2017.

The single asphalt runway, 01/19, is 1,628 metres long after a 110-metre extension in 2014. It takes aircraft up to the size of a Boeing 757-200. Approaches run low over the town's beaches, which draws plane spotters in summer. The first terminal and control tower went up in 1988, the terminal closed after a minor earthquake in 2001, and a replacement opened in 2002. There are no jetways, so passengers are bused between aircraft and terminal.

Traffic is seasonal and leans on European leisure markets. In 2024 the United Kingdom supplied about 243,000 passengers, Italy about 99,000 and Greece about 58,000. Passengers reached 639,242 in 2025.
