The hub

Kastoria:
private aviation airports and access

Kastoria is one of northern Greece's most distinctive regional cities — a peninsula settlement on Lake Orestiada with deep roots in the fur manufacturing trade. The city hosts the Kastoria Fur Fair each May, drawing wholesale buyers and fashion executives from across Europe and Asia, making it a genuine business destination rather than a purely leisure stop. Family offices managing fur industry holdings and retail buyers sourcing high-value pelts have established a recurring charter pattern into KSO during the fair season.

Kastoria National Airport (LGKA/KSO) handles around 9,500 movements annually, operating as a regional field with paved runway infrastructure suited to light jets and turboprops. Customs clearance is available during operating hours with advance coordination, and daylight operations are standard, with evening arrivals accommodated by prior arrangement. The airport sits approximately 9 km from the city center, with transfer times of 15 to 20 minutes under normal conditions. There are no slot restrictions for private aircraft, making scheduling straightforward for both positioning and operational flights.

Beyond the fur trade, Kastoria draws visitors tied to Byzantine heritage tourism — the city contains over 70 Byzantine and post-Byzantine churches — and proximity to the Prespa Lakes UNESCO wetland complex. Ohrid in North Macedonia is reachable in under an hour by road, giving Kastoria strategic value as a multi-country routing node for clients covering the western Balkans. During summer months, the lake setting and surrounding mountain terrain attract UHNWI seeking off-grid retreats within private aviation range of Thessaloniki and Athens.
