Limnos Airport guide

Lemnos International Airport serves the Aegean island of Lemnos (Limnos) in the North Aegean region of Greece. Its ICAO code is LGLM and it sits at an elevation of about 4 metres above sea level. The airport is a shared civil and military field, and the Hellenic Air Force keeps a base on the grounds.

The airport began operating in 1959. A new civilian terminal opened in 2001 and replaced an older, smaller building. The single asphalt runway, 04/22, is 3,016 metres long, a length well beyond what the island's scheduled traffic needs. It has no instrument landing system, so approaches use RNAV (GNSS) or VOR/DME procedures.

Most flights are domestic. Aegean Airlines and Sky Express link the island with Athens, and Sky Express also connects to other Aegean islands including Chios, Lesbos, Rhodes and Samos. Olympic Air flies to Thessaloniki and Ikaria. Ryanair, Austrian Airlines and Finnair add seasonal services from Athens, Vienna and Helsinki. The airport recorded about 94,000 passengers in 2018. A taxi to the main town of Myrina costs roughly 25 to 30 euros.
