Kos Island International Airport “Hippocrates” (Greek: Κρατικός Αερολιμένας Κω «Ιπποκράτης») (IATA: KGS, ICAO: LGKO) is the airport serving the island of Kos, Greece. It is located near the village of Andimachia, and is the second-closest airport to Bodrum, Turkey, after Milas–Bodrum Airport.
The airport opened on 4 April 1964. In 1974 the runway was extended to 2,400 m, and in 1980 a new terminal building was constructed. The terminal was renovated and expanded again in 1997.
In December 2015, the Fraport AG / Copelouzos Group joint venture finalized the privatization deal, taking over the operation of Kos Airport (along with 13 other regional airports) under a 40-year concession.
In recent years, passenger traffic at Kos Airport has continued to grow as part of Fraport Greece’s broader network performance: in 2024, Fraport Greece reported record traffic of over 36 million passengers across its 14 regional airports, with continued investment into infrastructure.
Fraport has announced planned investments of €200 million to increase capacity at Kos Airport (among other high-traffic airports), citing mounting demand and seasonal pressure.
Kos Airport has a single asphalt runway (14/32) with a length of approximately 2,436 m (7,992 ft), making it suitable for a wide range of aircraft: small propeller planes, small and medium jets, long‑range jets, regional airliners, and larger aircraft.
