Airport
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.
Egnatia Aviation always invests in modern technology and state-of-art equipment, therefore an upgrade with 6 more Simulators has already been scheduled.
