## Description

Just over seven million holidaymakers, almost no freight: Rhodes Diagoras Airport (IATA: RHO, ICAO: LGRP) handled 7,093,264 passengers in 2025 — 953,718 domestic and 6,139,546 international, up 2.5 per cent — yet runs no dedicated cargo operation. The airport is managed by Fraport Greece, the Fraport AG and Copelouzos Group joint venture that has held the concession for fourteen Greek regional airports since late 2015, and sits about 14 km southwest of Rhodes town on the west coast of the Dodecanese island. Shipments move only as belly cargo on passenger flights operated in season by TUI, Jet2, Ryanair, Aegean and many others; there are no freighters and no cargo terminal. A fourth phase of runway rehabilitation ran from 18 November 2025 to 24 March 2026 under a fixed daily closure plan, which further complicated time-critical consignments during that window. For importers, online retailers and forwarders needing real air cargo capacity the national hub is Athens (ATH), roughly 430 km away, with Thessaloniki (SKG) as a northern alternative. The practical pattern from Rhodes: small time-critical consignments by air, larger volumes via Athens or by ferry and sea freight to the mainland.
