Santorini Airport (JTR) is conveniently located on the eastern side of the island, just 6 kilometers from Fira, the island's vibrant capital. In operation since 1976, the airport serves both domestic and international flights, making it an essential hub for travelers heading to Santorini. Additionally, it caters to passengers traveling to neighboring islands that lack their own airports.
During the peak summer months, the airport experiences a sharp increase in traffic, as Santorini remains one of Greece’s most popular tourist destinations, attracting visitors from across the globe. Since December 2015, Santorini Airport (formerly known as the National Airport of Santorini) has been operated by the Fraport AG / Kopelouzos Group consortium under a 40-year concession agreement, alongside 13 other airports throughout Greece.
