Ioannina Airport is located 5 Km northwest of the city. It is a rather small airport that serves normally domestic or general aviation flights.

History

The airport was founded at 1928-29. From 1932 up to 1940 a semi-national company was running it. During the World War II the airport was occupied by the Italians. In 1946-47 the runway was paved with PSPs. In 1947 an Air Force squad was settled in common with a meteorogical station. In 1972 PSPs were replaced by asphalt and the runway length became 1200 m. In 1974-76 an expropriation took place by the Hellenic Civil Aiation Aythority, bringing the total area at 1400000 m2. At the same time the new runway was constructed with an orientation of 142°-322°, length 2400 m. and width 45 m., as well as the new 20000 m2 apron. Today the airport building covers an 1300 m2 area.
