Panteleou Paros is a small domestic airport serving Paros, a Greek island in the Cyclades. The recently built airport is located in the south-west of the island, about 10 kilometers from the capital, Parikia.
Paros airport, was inaugurated in 2016, replacing the old airport, a few kilometers away, dated 1982. The construction of the new building, and of the new runway, was necessary due to the increase in passenger traffic; and, of course, the use of larger aircraft than the previous ones.
In 2020, a further important amount was allocated to build a new 12,000 m² Terminal with new services, a new runway and a Control Tower. The works are expected to finish between 2023 and 2024.
The airport, today, has a single, small, Terminal, and a runway, about 1400m long.
