Named Megas Alexandros after Alexander the Great, this airport serves the city of Kavala in north-eastern Greece, along with the wider Eastern Macedonia and Thrace region and nearby Thassos island. The present facility near Chrysoupoli opened in 1981, replacing an earlier 1952 airfield. Operated by Fraport Greece, it features a single 3,000-metre runway and handles a blend of scheduled and charter flights, with German traffic dominating demand.
