Greece, Syros Dimitrios Vikelas LGSO - Departure

Dimitrios Vikelas Airport (LGSO) - take off

The island of Syros is a part of the Cyclades Islands located in the Aegean sea. The island is less known but at least as interesting as all the other popular Greek Islands – romantic harbour, historic city centre bu not as many tourists. And, of course, a pleasant little airport which is not very busy. The compulsory handling is limited here and therefore inexpensive. According to AIP, the airport does not provide fuel. However, if you are fine with the fuel from the local service station you can order it and within some 30 minutes a little truck will bring it to you to the apron.

Departing from runway 18 you will get over the harbour and city centre from the downwind position. If you depart from runway 36 you get sort of catapulted over the harbour and the city straight from the runway which ends on a cliff overlooking the sea. I have landed on Syros three times and the services were always good and friendly. From Syros you can easily reach Athens TMA and negotiate with the controller the possibility to fly over the historic centre of the city.

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.
