Western Macedonia's regional gateway serving Kozani and Ptolemaida.
Location
Kozani, Greece
Kozani National Airport Filippos (IATA: KZI, ICAO: LGKZ) is a regional airport located in Western Macedonia, Greece, serving the city of Kozani and the surrounding prefecture. Named after King Philip II of Macedon, the airport operates as a smaller domestic facility within Greece's national aviation network.
The airport handles limited scheduled and charter traffic, primarily connecting Kozani with Athens and occasionally other Greek destinations. It is operated under the Hellenic Civil Aviation Authority and serves both civilian and some military functions typical of Greek regional airports.
Due to its relatively small catchment area, passenger volumes remain modest compared to larger Greek airports. The facility supports regional connectivity for an area historically significant for lignite energy production and the broader Western Macedonia economy.
