Heraklion Airport

HERAKLION AIRPORT ‘’Ν.ΚΑΖΑΝΤΖΑΚIS ‘’

Heraklion Níkos-Kazantzákis International Airport (Greek: Κρατικός Αερολιμένας Ηρακλείου “Νίκος Καζαντζάκης”), or simply Níkos-Kazantzákis International Airport (ICAO code: HER – ICAO code: LGIR) is an airport located in Crete.

In terms of passenger numbers, it is the second largest airport in Greece with approximately 5 million passengers per year. It is also the first airport for charter flights. The airport is located in the municipality of Nea Alikarnassós, four kilometers east of Heraklion.

It is named after the Greek writer and philosopher Níkos Kazantzákis, who was born in Heraklion.

Runway

Runway 27 is the most frequently used runway for both landings and take-offs. However, only a part of the runway (about 2,000 m) is used for landings because the remaining 700 m do not have taxiways. This implies a sometimes brutal braking during the landing.

Terminal

Heraklion airport terminal is small and often crowded during the summer. The airport has two departure lounges: one for flights to the Shengen area and another for flights to other countries. At arrivals, there are only 4 baggage carpets.
