Zakynthos Airport will temporarily suspend runway operations in 2026.

Fraport Greece, the operator of 14 regional airports across Greece, has announced the fourth phase of runway renovation and reconstruction works at several airports, including Zakynthos (ZTH). As part of its ongoing multi-year upgrade program aimed at enhancing safety, infrastructure, and operational efficiency, Fraport will temporarily suspend runway operations at Zakynthos International Airport “Dionysios Solomos” from 2 February 2026 to 16 February 2026. The works will include runway resurfacing, reinforcement of safety zones, and infrastructure improvements to meet international aviation standards.
Located on the Ionian island of Zakynthos, the airport serves both domestic and international flights, especially during the busy summer season. During the scheduled closure, regular flights will be suspended or rerouted, although provisions may exist for emergency or special operations. These upgrades form part of Fraport Greece’s broader investment to modernize and improve passenger experience and safety across its network of airports, supported by national and EU funding. Travellers planning to visit Zakynthos around this period are advised to check with airlines for updated schedules and possible alternative travel arrangements.
