Practical information about Skiathos airport
The airport has only one runway, 1,628 metres long, which is considered very short for commercial flights.
To shorten the take-off distance, the aircraft must fly at low loads. This means that the aircraft cannot carry enough fuel for direct flights to Northern Europe and must stop again to refuel.
In 2021, the traffic will generate more than 200,000 passengers.
