Airports
Kavala International Airport (KVA/LGKV) is one of the best equipped airports in southern Europe. Due to the combination of the sunny Mediterranean and the stable Southern Continental weather conditions, Kavala International Airport is the ideal location for both Visual and Instrument Flight training.
VOR/DME and NDB locator are available at the airport, while an ILS is soon to be installed. In the meantime the nearby Thessaloniki airport ILS will be used for instrument landing training. Another two ILS equipped nearby airports are also used for training purposes.
There are a couple of daily flights to and from Athens and several flights to and from other (mainly) European Airports, on regular or seasonal basis. During the summer many international charter flights bring holidaymakers to the popular nearby Island of Thasos and other nearby areas.
The busy Thessaloniki International Airport “Makedonia” (SKG/LGTS) is now only 90 minutes away by car, or by regular inexpensive buses, and it can be used as an alternative arrival or departure airport. The quieter airport of Alexandroupolis (AXD/LGAL) is even closer than Thessaloniki airport, but with a less frequent bus schedule.
Kavala “Lydia” Aerodrome being the first, privately owned, dedicated General Aviation Aerodrome in Greece, is the brand new training base of the academy.
Located 5 km north west of Kavala, with 1.330 meters of day & night VFR approved runway and extendable apron space to host many types of aircraft, the new airport is an all-new, warm, welcoming, fully equipped and friendly aerodrome with FBO facilities. A modern General Aviation aerodrome based on the best worldwide examples of GA airfields, fully dedicated to the needs of the students. With this fine addition, the cadets of Egnatia Aviation can now train 24/7 without any restrictions.
Moreover, with over 500.000 m2 of land of Airside and Landside fields available, apart from the flight training activities, the new aerodrome provides various other aviation services such as professional aircraft maintenance and camo services to a newly built hangar specifically designed to cover the needs not just of the academy but of eternal clients too.
Lastly, there will soon be on-site accommodation for trainees, food court and recreational facilities.
A total of 6 simulators are present, contributing to the high quality training provided by the Academy.
