Mytilene International Airport
MJT identifies Mytilene International Airport on the Greek island of Lesbos in the northeastern Aegean Sea, named after the island's main town. Despite its 'international' designation, MJT mixes scheduled domestic service to Athens with seasonal European charter flights bringing tourists to Lesbos's beaches, olive groves, and traditional villages. The airport also gained global attention during the 2015-2016 refugee crisis, when Lesbos became a major arrival point for migrants crossing from Turkey, placing MJT and the island's infrastructure under significant strain. Today it functions as a fairly typical Greek island airport balancing tourism traffic with essential domestic connectivity.
