The airport was established during WW2 in 1942 but totally destroyed by the allied forces. In 1962 it was rebuilt to the present form. From 2005 to 2006 the main runway was extended from 400 metres to 480 metres to meet the EU requirements.
The airport is licensed for aeroplanes up to 5,700 kilograms (12,600 lb) maximum takeoff weight and helicopters up to 10,000 kilograms (22,000 lb). Due to the limited length of the runways and adverse wind conditions, the approach to and departure from the airport is demanding, requiring experience and special preparation from pilots. For commercial flights, prior training is mandatory.
To reach the main island you have to go by a small ferryboat
