Kasteli International Airport (IATA: LGTL) is a military airport located 39 km (24 mi) south-east of Heraklion, in Kasteli on the Greek island of Crete. It started operating in 1940[citation needed] and it now has a single runway with a length of 2,991 m (9,813 ft). The airport is used by F-16 Fighting Falcon fighter aircraft of the Hellenic Air Force's 133 Combat Group.[3] The Ariadne Airport Group consortium, consisting of the GEK Terna in partnership with the Indian GMR Group has been selected to develop, operate and manage a new international airport on this site[4] as a replacement for the existing Heraklion International Airport.[5] The new Kasteli International Airport is due to open by 2027.[6]
