Zakynthos International Airport Dionysios Solomos
Zakynthos International Airport "Dionysios Solomos" (IATA: ZTH, ICAO: LGZA) is an airport on the island of Zakynthos, Greece. It is 4.3 km from Zakynthos city and close to other seaside tourist destinations such as Laganas, Tsilivi and Kalamaki. The main approach into the airport is Runway 34. Aircraft usually have to fly over Laganas bay and make a 180-degree turn, before their final approach over on the Kalamaki beach. Kalamaki beach is part of the National Marine Park of Zakynthos. During the summer months, endangered Loggerhead sea turtles lay their eggs at the marine park's beaches. This has resulted in aircraft movement restriction;: flights are not permitted to take off or land between 10:00PM to 5:00AM, except under extenuating circumstances.

History
The airport opened in 1972. An expansion of the airport's apron area to 35,100 m2 was completed in 2003, and a new 22,150 m2 terminal building was completed in 2008. In December 2015, the privatization of Zakynthos International Airport and 13 other regional airports of Greece was finalized with the signing of the agreement between the Fraport AG/Copelouzos Group joint venture and the state privatisation fund. According to the agreement, the joint venture will operate the 14 airports for 40 years from 11 April 2017. On 22 March 2017, Fraport presented its master plan for the 14 airports, including Zakynthos. Immediate actions, before the 2017 summer season, included general clean-up of the airports, improved lighting and sanitary facilities, free WiFi and improved fire safety. Specifically for Zakynthos, further improvements were to included the refurbishment and remodeling of the terminal, air traffic control tower and airside pavement; HBS inline screening; a new fire station; relocating power transformers and generators; reorganizing the airport apron area, landside roads and parking; a new security guardhouse; and more check-in counters and security check lanes.
