Thessaloniki International Airport, "Macedonia" (
Greek: Κρατικός Αερολιμένας Θεσσαλονίκης "Μακεδονία", Kratikós Aeroliménas "Makedonía") is located about 15 km SE of the city centre of
Thessaloniki at Mikra, close to the suburb of
Thermaikos and the municipalities of
Kalamaria,
Pylaia and
Therma. The airport is the largest state owned and operated airport in the country and opened in 1930 and today it's the third busiest airport in
Greece, serving about 3.5 million passengers annually. It is linked to the city centre by a 24-hour
OASTH bus service (No. 78). There is a master plan for a major expansion of the airport, including a new much bigger terminal building that could accommodate 9 million passengers per year. Currently the expansion of one runway into the sea is underway, in order for the airport to serve long haul flights. It has two runways (10-28 & 16-34) and two taxiways. There are 22 stands for wide bodied aircraft and about 20 for light ones.
