Approach and landing runway 25 Rhodes International airport Diagoras (RHO LGRP)

Rhodes International Airport,
"Diagoras" (Greek: Κρατικός Αερολιμένας Ρόδου, "Διαγόρας") or Diagoras International Airport (RHO LGRP) is located on the West side of the island of Rhodes in Greece.

The airport is located just north of the village Paradisi, about 14 km southwest of the capital city, Rodos. Rhodes International Airport was the fourth busiest airport in Greece as of 2016.

Civil aviation on Rhodes started after the Second World War, on the location of the nearby military Rhodes Maritsa Airport.

This was the island's main airport until 1977, when the new Rhodes International Airport was opened. The need for a new facility was big, as the 'old' Maritsa airport did not meet the needs for a modern civil airport. The new "Diagoras" airport was built in 1977. It was decided that, on this location, it would meet the needs of the island better.

Improvements have been made to the airport, like expansion of taxiways, platform and airport buildings. The most recent upgrade is a new passenger terminal, opened in 2005, to accommodate the growing number of charter flights and passengers.

In this I ask my colleague if he wants to make a visual approach.
He agrees and so we did! Making a nice landing on runway 25.

Enjoy the film!

All ATC and conversations are from this flight. Enjoy the view and movie!
