Passenger traffic at the 14 regional airports run by Fraport Greece rose 1.9% year on year in October 2026 to 3.6 million, the operator said. That was 65,000 more passengers than in October 2025.

Domestic traffic rose 2.6%, or 19,000 passengers, to 733,000, making up 21% of the total. International traffic rose about 1.7%, or roughly 46,000 passengers, to 2.8 million, a 79% share.

Rhodes, Chania, Corfu, Zakynthos and Aktion did the most to lift international traffic. Thessaloniki, Mykonos and Santorini recorded declines. Fraport Greece said the gains at Chania, Rhodes and Corfu more than made up for those drops.

By the end of October, nine airports had already handled more passengers than in the whole of 2025. Chania, Kefalonia, Skiathos and Zakynthos passed that mark in under nine months. Rhodes, Corfu, Aktion, Mykonos and Samos did so in under ten.

The average load factor fell to 80.6% from 82.1% a year earlier. Most airports saw lower occupancy. Corfu, Zakynthos, Aktion, Kavala, Santorini and Skiathos held at about the same level.

The summer season under the International Air Transport Association (IATA) slot calendar ended on Oct. 24.
