Greek airports warn of summer delays amid record tourist surge

Wednesday, 8 July 2026/Source: Google News/1 min read

Greece is facing potential air traffic disruptions this summer, with warnings of significant congestion at major airports. Travelers flying into or out of Crete, including Heraklion (HER) and Chania (CHQ) airports, may experience delays and schedule changes during peak season. The situation is driven by record tourist numbers and strained air traffic control capacity across Greek airspace. Visitors are advised to arrive at airports well ahead of departure, monitor their flight status regularly, and consider travel insurance that covers delays. Booking early morning or late evening flights may reduce the risk of cascading delays. Those with connecting flights should allow extra layover time. Staying informed through your airline's official app or website is recommended throughout your trip.
