Airport History

The airport opened in the early 2000s as Athens’ replacement for the older Ellinikon Airport, marking a major shift in the city’s aviation infrastructure. It was developed to support the capital’s growing air travel demand and to provide a modern hub for Greece’s national and international traffic.

From the outset, the airport was planned with a large terminal complex and multiple runway capacity to accommodate expanding scheduled service. Its development also reflected Greece’s need for a central airport capable of handling both European short-haul traffic and long-haul intercontinental operations.

As traffic increased, the airport’s role expanded further through terminal enhancements, operational refinements, and the growth of airline service, particularly by Aegean Airlines and other scheduled carriers. Over time, it became the principal gateway for Athens and the country’s most important transfer airport.

Today, the airport operates as a mature hub with a broad domestic and international route network, modern passenger facilities, and runway infrastructure designed for sustained commercial traffic.
