Named Makedonia and serving Greece's second city, this is the country's third-busiest airport, opened for public use in 1948 on a site dating to a World War I airfield. With two asphalt runways, the longer measuring around 3,440 metres, it handled nearly eight million passengers in 2025. It acts as a hub for Aegean Airlines, Olympic Air and Sky Express, and an operating base for Ryanair.
