Advertising

The 14 regional airports in Greece operated by Fraport Greece recorded moderate passenger traffic growth in February 2025. Overall, the number of travelers increased by 3,7 percent compared to the same month last year. While international arrivals increased significantly, the number of domestic travelers declined slightly.

International air connections in particular contributed to growth. In February, the number of international passengers increased by 13,5 percent to 254.000. In contrast, domestic traffic fell by 1,7 percent. Despite the decline in domestic Greek traffic, strong demand from abroad enabled a positive overall result.

Of the 14 regional airports, five recorded growth in passenger traffic. Thessaloniki Airport led the way with 423.000 travelers, followed by Chania and Rhodes airports. The largest declines were recorded at Zakynthos (-66,6 percent), Mykonos (-52,9 percent), and Aktion (-50,8 percent) airports. In the period from January to February 2025, the total number of passengers reached 1,3 million—an increase of 3,7 percent. Here, too, Thessaloniki led the way with 863.000 travelers, an increase of 8,8 percent.

The number of flight movements decreased slightly by 0,1 percent overall in February. While the number of domestic flights fell by 3,1 percent, the number of international flights increased by 8,3 percent. For the first two months of the year, total flight movements decreased by 0,4 percent. The most important countries of origin for international travelers continue to be Germany, Cyprus, Italy, the United Kingdom, and the Netherlands.
