Nowadays there are 44 airports operating in Greece which fall into three categories:

International connections
The 15 State International Airports accommodate airplanes of scheduled and non- scheduled airlines (especially during the summer) as well as charter flights, and handle approximately 82% of the tourists who arrive annually in our country.
Domestic Connections
Apart from the 15 State International Airports, which cater for domestic flights as well, there are also 25 State Domestic Airports all over the country handling domestic flights.
Domestic flights are conducted by Olympic Airlines , Aegean Airlines and Sky Express.
