The Airport also offers Charter flights since its inception. Currently a new runway is being planned so that the airport can manage more traffic.

The operational hours of the airport are 6AM to 10PM on weekdays and 9AM to 7PM on weekends when the traffic is a little less.

Though there was a good response for charted crafts for flying over the tourist area in the Mediterranean the lack of proper runway stopped the airport from getting the most common aircraft that is in use today the Boeing 737. The BAe 146 was however a popular aircraft among the tourists.

However in June 2007 the plan that was submitted for the expansion of the airport was rejected. The passengers can however travel to the airport with the current charter flights from Frankfurt.
