Zela Aviation Partners With Sitia Airport (LGST)
/
In October 2022, Zela Aviation proudly announced a cooperation with the municipality of Sitia, Crete to develop the current route network of Sitia’s Airport. Sitia Aiport (LGST) is located on the east side of the beautiful island of Crete. The Airport began operations in June 1984 and a brand-new terminal building was delivered in 2016. The airport is operated by the Hellenic Civil Aviation Authority and offers competitive charges for Business Aviation Jets.
Zela Aviation's airport development team has been working closely together with the municipality of Sitia to promote the airport domestically and in Europe for commercial aviation activities.
Summer Slots in nearby airports in Crete such as Heraklion (HER) and Crete (CHQ) are less attainable than in Sitia. Sitia’s airport can help to assist in better slots to support tourist activity for all regions in Crete. Sitia Airport also opens opportunities for operators to base their aircraft for a short time period, whereas parking is less available in Chania or Heraklion.
With the summer season approaching, Zela Jet the subsidiary of Zela Aviation is keen to boost incoming private flights to Sitia’s airport. Zela Jet’s strong domestic sales presence in the market gives the airport the right tools and foundations to help traffic grow. Zela Jet has access to a fleet of private airplanes and helicopters to support private flights to Sitia.

Lassithi, a unique location for total immersion in nature and relaxation, is found in Greece on the eastern coast of the island of Crete. Numerous little towns, beach resorts, and charming mountain villages make up this perfected beauty. Elounda and Sissi are two well-known villages that are still popular tourist destinations in the area.
