Volos Army Airport serves Volos, GR.
Volos Army Airport (ICAO: LGVO), also known as Volos/Nea Ionia Airport, closed in 1981. The closure was due to its short runway, which was reduced to 650 meters in 1954, limiting its capacity for larger aircraft, and rapid urban expansion in Nea Ionia.
Established in 1948 as a joint public and military airport, it initially had a 970-meter runway and hosted limited civilian flights, including scheduled services by TAE Greek National Airlines to Athens from 1951 to 1957. After 1954, it became exclusively used by the Hellenic Army for training and logistics, hosting units like the 24th Army Aviation Company.
Today, the former airport site has been completely repurposed; its infrastructure, including the runway, was abandoned and later integrated into the Volos Ring Road, with no remaining aviation features. Nea Anchialos National Airport (IATA: VOL) replaced it, beginning operations in 1991 to serve the region's aviation needs.
