History of Mykonos airport

The history of Mykonos airport is closely linked to the evolution of this iconic Greek island. It has become a world-renowned destination. Located close to the main town of Chora, Mykonos airport has a rich and fascinating history.

In the 1960s, Mykonos gained popularity as a popular tourist destination. To cope with the growing influx of visitors, the construction of an airport on the island was undertaken. It was inaugurated in 1971. Over time, several renovations were undertaken to further boost island tourism. In December 2015, Mykonos Airport was privatized and is now operated by Fraport AG and the Copelouzos Group. Since 2017, Fraport Greece has been responsible for managing the airport and is planning further expansion work. Today, Mykonos Airport handles around 12,000 flight movements a year and welcomes around one million passengers.

Over the years, Mykonos airport has become a vital crossroads for travellers from all over the world. The island attracts visitors in search of sunshine, pristine beaches and lively nightlife. Today, Mykonos national airport handles international flights. It also hosts charter and private flights, playing an essential role in the island’s economic and tourism development.
