Zakynthos Airport (LGZA) - landing and take off

The island of Zakynthos is known from the ads of travel operators who like to show the picture of the sea bay with the shipwreck on its beach – called Shipwreck beach or Navagio. The attraction of Zakynthos for sport aircraft travelers is especially in its western coast with high rocky cliffs which lead up to Shipwreck beach.

The airport of Zakynthos is a medium sized transport airport serving the island and its visitors. There is mandatory handling but if you’re an AOPA member, the price is some 25 EUR only. AVGAS is available here. I landed here mainly to replace the batteries in my outside cameras but the stop was pleasant nevertheless. Runway 34/16 is a standard, concrete runway of a transport airprot. The ATC controllers at TWR and APP were friendly and facilitated my flight around the island.

Take offs and landings video series Our new video series „Take offs and landings“ will bring to you every Wednesday one video taken during a take off or landing during one of Flying Revue flight expeditions. Flying Revue expedition aircraft have landed already at more than 400 airports and airfields around the globe. For many reasons, not all our take offs and landings have been videoed. However, the number of videos which we have on file is permanently growing. So the new video series „Take offs and landings“ is very well stocked. You can watch these videos free of charge either just for your interest or as part of preparations for your own flight to some of the airports shown in these series.
