Kozani Airport “Filippos” (KZI) is a small domestic airport 4 km south of Kozani, the capital of western Macedonia, on the plateau of the region’s lignite mines and power stations. Sky Express or Olympic fly to Athens a few times a week all year, mostly for local business and the university, and there are no international flights.
The terminal is one hall. Kozani sits on the Egnatia motorway an hour and a half from Thessaloniki Airport, which carries most of the region’s traffic; the local flight is a convenience for those who can match its thin timetable, and winter fog and snow cut into it.
Local tips
- Winter fog and snow disrupt the few weekly flights; check the live board before you leave, and keep the Thessaloniki alternative in mind, an hour and a half away on the Egnatia.
- Book a taxi or a hire car for your arrival time; with a few flights a week, nobody waits at the rank on spec.
- An hour before departure is enough; the terminal is one hall and the queue is one aircraft.
