Work is progressing on a new air traffic control radar system at Daskalogiannis Airport in Chania, western Crete, according to General Director Giorgos Vilos. The radar installation is advancing but remains an ongoing project with further development planned for the future. Daskalogiannis is Crete's second international airport, handling flights primarily to and from western Crete including the Chania region. Tourists flying into Chania should not expect any disruption to current flight operations, as the upgrade is being implemented gradually. Once fully operational, the improved radar infrastructure is expected to enhance air traffic management capacity at the airport, which could support increased flight volumes as tourism to the region continues to grow.
