Airfield And Operations
The airport has a single lighted asphalt runway, 16/34, measuring 7,792 feet, which is suitable for the range of aircraft typically used on European short- and medium-haul routes. For passengers, that means Corfu is well connected for seasonal leisure flights as well as regular services linking the island with mainland Greece. Because island airports can become especially busy in summer, it is wise to allow extra time for check-in, security, and ground transport, particularly on weekends and peak arrival days.
Planning Your Visit
For practical trip planning, the most useful detail is that all local schedules follow the Europe/Athens time zone, so flight times, hotel check-ins, and ferry or transfer connections should be checked accordingly. Visitors heading straight from the airport to beaches, resort areas, or Corfu Town should review current transport and airport service information on the official airport website before travel, especially in peak season when routes, queues, and onward connections can feel more compressed than on the mainland.
