Kithira Airport (ICAO: LGKC) is a small regional aerodrome on Kithira Island in the Attica region of Greece, built for domestic services within the Hellenic air transport network. Its single hard-surfaced runway and lack of instrument approach aids make it a straightforward but weather-sensitive VFR destination for pilots visiting this remote Ionian-Aegean island.
Kithira Airport, officially named after Alexandros Aristotelous Onassis, serves Kithira Island at the southern tip of the Peloponnese, administratively part of the Attica region of Greece. It is a small state-operated airfield handling domestic traffic, and for a visiting VFR pilot it offers the appeal of a compact island runway set among the hills of the island's southern coast.
The airport lies about 24 kilometres from the main town of Kithira, in the area known as Simpetra, on Kithira Island. Its published coordinates are 36.2742 N, 23.0167 E, at a field elevation of 1043 feet.
The airfield has a single physical runway, 02/20, of 4789 feet with a hard surface and runway lighting. There is no ILS available at Kithira.
Kithira operates with an aerodrome flight information service. Air-to-ground communication is available on 563.7 MHz, with an AFIS frequency of 123.25 MHz. No navaids or published instrument approach procedures are associated with the field.
Kithira Airport has operated since 1972 from its site in the Simpetra area of the island, roughly 24 kilometres from the town of Kithira. It bears the name of Alexandros Aristotelous Onassis, reflecting the historic link between the Onassis family and the island.
The airfield continues to operate as a small regional aerodrome under the Hellenic Civil Aviation Authority, serving Kithira Island with domestic connections.
