## Description

Fraport Greece runs Kos Hippocrates Airport (IATA: KGS, ICAO: LGKO) as one of the 14 regional Greek airports it took over and upgraded from 2017. On the Dodecanese island of Kos, the field ranks among the busier Greek island holiday gateways, served each summer by TUI, Jet2, Ryanair, easyJet and Eurowings. Traffic is overwhelmingly tourist and highly seasonal, and there is no dedicated air-cargo facility. Forwarders consolidate airfreight through the national hub at Athens (ATH), reachable by domestic flight or via the ferry ports. For cargo, KGS is best treated as a passenger airport whose value lies in seasonal belly capacity toward the mainland.
