## Description

PYR and LGAD identify Andravida Air Base, a Hellenic Air Force installation near Andravida in Elis, on the western Peloponnese, Greece. Home to the 117th Combat Wing and its ageing F-4E Phantom II fighters, the base handles no civilian scheduled or cargo traffic and annually hosts the multinational Iniochos exercise, held 9–20 March in 2026. A major upgrade beginning in 2026 is set to prepare Andravida for the F-35 Lightning II by the end of the decade. Shippers in the region route air freight through Athens (ATH), roughly 230 km away.
