Gateway to the remote Aegean island of Ikaria.

Location

Ikaria Island, Greece

Ikaria Airport (IATA: JIK, ICAO: LGIK) is a small domestic airport serving Ikaria Island in the Eastern Aegean Sea, Greece. It provides essential air connectivity for the island's residents and visitors, supplementing ferry services as a primary means of reaching this relatively isolated destination. The airport handles limited scheduled traffic, primarily seasonal domestic flights connecting Ikaria with Athens and other Greek island destinations. Its runway and facilities are modest in scale, reflecting the airport's regional character and the island's relatively small population. Ikaria is known internationally for its unusually long-lived population, considered one of the world's 'Blue Zones,' and the airport serves as an entry point for travelers drawn by the island's culture, nature, and reputation for longevity.

Terminals
