The approval for seaplane flights by the Hellenic Navy General Staff (HNGS) and the relevant authorities for the maritime area of Alimos now allows the Southern Suburbs of Athens to be served by flights to the islands of the Cyclades, Dodecanese, Sporades, Ionian, Northern Aegean, as well as coastal destinations in the Peloponnese.

According to Hellenic Seaplanes, which undertook the project for the Alimos licensing, the company is now proceeding with more confidence in its efforts, as it expands its network of seaplane bases and waterfields to include Attica. After five decades, seaplane flights are returning to the capital, bringing new opportunities for connectivity and development.

Connection to Sustainable Development

With the licensing of Alimos, the State is actively supporting the initiatives of seaplanes and their infrastructure, showcasing Greece’s potential as a model for sustainable and innovative development.

Seaplanes are integrated into the framework of sustainable mobility, with a smaller environmental footprint compared to other means of transportation. They are the ideal mode of transport for connecting remote areas while helping to ease the congestion of conventional transportation systems.

The licensing of the seaplane base in Alimos is part of a broader strategy to highlight the coastal zone of Attica with modern and environmentally friendly infrastructure.
