Lemnos International Airport “Hephaestus” (IATA: LXS, ICAO: LGLM) is the main airport serving the island of Lemnos in Greece. The airport is located about 18 km northwest of Myrina, the island’s main town. It is publicly operated by the Hellenic Civil Aviation Authority (HCAA) and also serves military functions.
The airfield sits at a very low elevation of 14 feet (4 m) above sea level. Its single asphalt runway is aligned 04/22, and measures around 3,016 meters (9,895 ft) in length. According to ground‑handling providers, the runway supports a wide variety of aircraft, and fuel (JET A1) is available.
Passenger traffic has fluctuated over time: in 2018, the airport handled 94,227 passengers. According to more recent data, Lemnos Airport handled a similar number in 2022. During its history, the airport has seen periods of growth and decline, reflecting the seasonal nature of air travel to the island.
Facilities for travelers are modest but functional: there is a café/restaurant, a shop, an ATM, free Wi-Fi, and a duty‑free shop in the terminal. The terminal is relatively small, but able to support both domestic and seasonal international flights.
For logistical operations, the airport supports general aviation and business flights. The ground-handling services are handled by companies such as Universal Aviation, which lists LGLM and confirms customs entry is available. According to AirportNavFinder, runway lighting (including ALSF‑I) and precision approaches are in place.
The operating hours vary seasonally, especially during the summer: according to Hellenic Slot Coordination Authority data, there are specific opening windows for daytime traffic.
