Ioannina airport (LGIO) is located 4Km from the city of Ioannina, in the NorthWest part of Greece.
With a new terminal that came to service in 2019, it serves a single runway of 2400m, at 1500ft
elevation with no precision approach available!
Next to the lake and the city, surrounded by high terrain, Ioannina airport offers a beautiful and
exciting approach, which, in combination with some adverse weather and the lack of precision
approaches, can very easily become a very demanding one!
For most real world airlines, Ioannina is a Category C airport, meaning that only the captain is
allowed to perform the take off and landing!
It's geographical position, makes it a perfect one, offering endless choices of airports to fly TO and
FROM Ioannina, satisfying every taste, from really short flights (just a few minutes from Kerkira,
Thessaloniki and Skiathos), to anywhere in Greece, Adriadic and Southern Italy within an hour, and
for slightly longer hops, you name it!

Really enjoyable VOR approaches in these beautiful and very detailed surroundings. That terrain is as if it has been made for Realturb action :-).
A pleasure esp. for FSLabs A320 users, as the 320 is so nicely balanced anyway with Realturb.
