Corfu Ioannis Kapodistrias International Airport (CFU/LGKR) serves the island of Corfu (Kerkyra) in the Ionian Sea and is one of Greece's busiest regional airports. Named after Ioannis Kapodistrias, the first Governor of independent Greece, who was born on the island, the airport handles millions of visitors each year, predominantly during the summer tourist season. The airport is located just south of Corfu Town, with its single runway famously positioned adjacent to the sea and a main road, creating a dramatic arrival and departure experience that attracts aviation enthusiasts worldwide. Its approach over the Ionian Sea and tight surroundings make it one of the most visually striking airports in the Mediterranean. The facility operates primarily as a seasonal tourist gateway, with charter and low-cost carriers dominating traffic from across Europe between spring and autumn. During peak summer months, the airport handles an exceptionally high volume of international flights relative to its size.
