During Greek military junta, there was interest in construction a new airport closer to Porto Cheli, but it was never realised due to scandalous compensations that wer given.[1] In 2004, HCAA closed the airport due to maintenace issues and in 2008 the airport certificate was not renewed, thus closing the airport indefenately.
