'''Kavala International Airport, "Megas Alexandros"''' ([[Greek language|Greek]]: '''Κρατικός Αερολιμένας Καβάλας, "Μέγας Αλέξανδρος"''') or '''Alexander The Great International Airport''' (IATA '''KVA''', ICAO '''LGKV''') is located in [[Kavala prefecture]], eastern [[Macedonia]], northern [[Greece]].

The airport at [[Kavala]] began its operations in [[1952]] in the installations of the [[Greek Air Force]] near the village of [[Amygdaleonas]]. On [[October 12]], [[1981]], it was relocated to the new location where it operates today, near the town of [[Chrisoupolis]]. The relocation greatly improved the service to the nearby island of [[Thasos]] and the city of [[Xanthi]], in addition to the continued service to the cities of Kavala and [[Drama]]. At the beginning, it was used only for domestic flights.

On [[December 16]], [[1987]], by a joint decision of the Minister of Presidency and the Minister of Transports and Communications it was included in the International Airports of the country. In [[1992]], by a decision of Minister of Transports, the airport was renamed to Kavala International Airport "[[Alexander the Great]]".

At the beginning of its operation, the building infrastructure of the airport included only the terminal building (smaller than the current). Afterwards the Control Tower, the Fire Station and the remaining installations were built. In [[1992]] a small extension to the terminal building was added, but soon it became apparent that it was insufficient.

The runway had been built, with the same dimensions that it has today. In [[1998]] extensive works began for new infrastructure (building etc) and today the airport of Kavala is functioning as a single upgraded total (old and new installations together), including all modern facilities for service both to airlines and passengers, contributing to the growth of the greater region of East Macedonia]] and [[Thrace]]. Currently, the airport hosts regular flights to various cities in Germany and, during the summer many chartered flights from several European countries.
