Ikaria Airport guide

Ikaria Airport sits on the eastern end of Ikaria, an Aegean island in the North Aegean group, close to the village of Faros. It is a small public airport used almost entirely for domestic flights within Greece. The ICAO code is LGIK.

The airport opened on 14 June 1995 with two weekly Olympic Airlines flights on Dornier 228 aircraft. Olympic Air still serves it, flying to Athens, Lemnos and Thessaloniki, and Sky Express also flies to Athens. Winter service centres on the daily Athens link, while summer adds connections to other islands such as Heraklion on Crete and Lemnos. Traffic rises from Easter, and local tourism guidance advises booking flights and ground transport early.

The field has a single asphalt runway, designated 15/33, about 1,380 metres long at an elevation of 79 metres. The apron has four stands sized for the ATR 72 turboprop. Facilities are basic: a limited-time car park, a car rental office and a refreshment room. The airport has one passenger terminal and a separate freight terminal. Most visitors continue by taxi or private car.
