## Description

Corfu's airport (IATA: CFU, ICAO: LGKR) is named after Ioannis Kapodistrias, the first head of state of modern Greece and the island's most famous son. The runway juts out on a spit between the Chalikiopoulou Lagoon and the sea — the approach over the islet of Pontikonisi is among Europe's most photogenic. Since 2017 the highly seasonal field has been operated by Fraport Greece; in summer, Ryanair, easyJet, TUI, and many other airlines land here, while Aegean and Sky Express fly to Athens year-round. Dedicated air cargo is not handled; the national cargo hub is Athens (IATA: ATH, approx. 380 km).
