Athens Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport

Athens Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport (LGAV) is a large airport in Spata-Artemida, I, Greece. Pilots and dispatchers reference it by ICAO code LGAV or IATA code ATH. It sits in Europe.

Athens Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport is a commercial-airline hub that also handles a steady stream of private and corporate traffic. Mixed commercial and private operations mean planners should expect slot coordination, handling agent involvement, and the usual international hub procedures.

Athens Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport sits near sea level at 308 ft.

Local operations run on Europe/Athens. Because the field hosts scheduled airline operations, private operators should expect a defined slot environment, possible CDM coordination at peak banks, and limited ramp availability during major event weekends. Booking FBO ramp space in advance is normal practice.

SkyAccess currently tracks 55 departing and 55 arriving private-jet legs at LGAV across the next six months of operator inventory. 3 aircraft from 54 operators are based here or fly through regularly, so most empty-leg supply originates from a local fleet rather than out-of-town repositioning.

As one of the larger fields in Greece, LGAV tends to be the natural choice for long-range international charters and crew-rest-required flights.

Athens International Airport Eleftherios Venizelos, commonly initialised as AIA, is the largest international airport in Greece, serving the city of Athens and region of Attica. It began operation on 28 March 2001 and is the main base of Aegean Airlines, as well as other smaller Greek airlines. It replaced the old Ellinikon International Airport.
