Nea Anchialos National Airport guide

The airport serves Volos and the wider Magnesia region of Thessaly. It lies on the plain between Nea Anchialos, Almyros, Velestino and Farsala, and the E75 motorway gives road access. It is also marketed as Central Greece Airport, since it covers Lamia, Larissa, Trikala and Karditsa as well as Volos. Its ICAO code is LGBL.

The single asphalt runway, 08/26, is 2,759 metres long and 45 metres wide, long enough for narrow-body jets. Commercial operations began in February 1991. The airport sits 25 metres above sea level, and a bus links it to the Volos bus station.

Traffic is small and seasonal. Flights run mainly from spring to autumn, and the schedule mixes scheduled and charter services. In 2025 Eurowings flew to Düsseldorf, Ryanair to Brussels Charleroi, Sky Express to Heraklion, Smartwings to Brno, Arkia to Tel Aviv and Transavia France to Paris Orly. Scheduled seat capacity for March to October 2025 rose 72.7 percent on the year before, the largest increase among the regional airports in one Greek press survey. The airport handled 41,357 passengers in 2018, a rise of 36.1 percent on 2017.
