Milos Airport (LGML) is a small regional aerodrome on the Cycladic island of Milos in the South Aegean, serving as the island's only air link to Athens. Its short single runway and modest apron restrict operations to regional turboprops such as the ATR 42 and Dash 8 or smaller aircraft, making it a compact and characterful destination for the simulator pilot exploring the Greek islands.
Milos Airport lies on the small volcanic island of Milos in the Cyclades, roughly five kilometres southeast of the island's main harbour at Adamas. It is a modest, single-runway field handling scheduled and charter flights, chiefly from Athens, and its short strip and tiny apron mean it can only accommodate regional turboprops such as the ATR 42 or Dash 8, or smaller aircraft. For the sim pilot it offers an interesting short-field approach in a scenic Aegean setting.
The airport sits at coordinates 36.6969N, 24.4769E on Milos Island in the South Aegean, about five kilometres southeast of Adamas, the island's port town and main settlement. It is a modest island aerodrome with a small apron, capable of handling only one Dash 8-sized aircraft or two light aircraft at any one time.
Milos has a single hard-surfaced, lit runway aligned 08/26. Published distances differ between the two ends, with runway 08 listed at 3,351 feet and runway 26 at 2,615 feet; the field elevation is 10 feet above mean sea level. There is no ILS approach.
No communications frequencies are published for Milos Airport, and there is no ILS installed. Pilots planning a visit should treat this as an aerodrome without listed radio facilities and should verify current radio and approach information from official Greek aeronautical publications before flight.
No published circuit heights, joining procedures or noise-abatement restrictions are available for Milos Airport in the sources consulted. Given the short runway and limited apron space, arriving aircraft should expect a straightforward but compact operating environment with capacity for only a single medium turboprop or two light aircraft at a time.
No formal visual reference points are published for Milos Airport. The most useful landmark for orientation is Adamas, the island's main port town, which lies a few kilometres northwest of the airport and gives a clear indication of the field's position relative to the coastline.
Milos Airport opened to passenger traffic on 17 January 1973. Its original terminal building was replaced by a new one in October 1995. The airport has always been a small facility, with an apron of only about 7,800 square metres; plans were drawn up at one stage for a longer 2,000 by 45 metre runway at a new location together with an expanded 26,000 square metre apron, but these proposals were suspended due to economic difficulties and have not been carried out.
Milos Airport continues to operate as the island's sole air link, handling scheduled and charter services, principally to and from Athens. Because of its short runway and limited apron, it can only accommodate ATR 42s, Dash 8s or smaller aircraft, and the apron itself can take just one such aircraft or two light aircraft simultaneously. No fuel availability, operating hours or prior-permission requirements are detailed in the sources consulted, and no flight-simulator scenery for the field is mentioned.
