Live air traffic

The airport is inside the live data fetch area, so nearby aircraft appear on the live map (coverage depends on ADS-B receivers).

Flight counts, delays and cancellations

Not available yet. Daily departure and arrival counts, delays and cancellations need airline schedule data, which havayolu does not use yet. ADS-B only shows where an aircraft is; it cannot tell a flight’s scheduled time, delay or cancellation. This page therefore does not show or estimate them. For the status of your flight, check with your airline or the airport operator.

Landings and take-offs observed through ADS-B, and the runways in use, will be added in a later version, shown as “observed” movements rather than schedules. For the limits of ADS-B, see the About page.

Runways

Runways at Chios Island National Airport
Runway	Length	Width	Surface	Lighting	True bearing	Displaced runway threshold
01/19	1,511 m (4,957 ft)	30 m	Asphalt	Yes	01 10°19 190°	01 140 m19 69 m

Bearings are relative to true north; runway names come from the magnetic bearing.

A displaced runway threshold means landings start this far along the runway rather than at its beginning.
