# What happened M'M Simulations has released a native Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 scenery for Skiathos Airport (LGSK), also known as Alexandros Papadiamantis International Airport. The add-on went on sale days after its first teaser and follows the developer's earlier Greek releases.
# What the package includes The scenery recreates the airport with:
- Detailed terminal interiors and a detailed control tower interior.
- Custom ground markings, buildings and local facilities.
- A handcrafted runway and surrounding terrain model.
- Custom local landmarks and realistic night lighting.
Those elements are aimed at both immersion and photo-quality visuals for pilots and spotters in the simulator.
# Why Skiathos matters for sim pilots Skiathos is a popular tourist island and a well-known plane-spotting destination because of its low, beachside approaches. The real airport has a relatively short 1,600-meter runway suitable for small to mid-sized jets but often affected by turbulence and local wind effects.
There is no Instrument Landing System (ILS) at LGSK. Arrivals use non-precision procedures—NDB or VOR/DME-backed steps—finishing with a visual segment. Those constraints make Skiathos a more demanding airport to fly and an attractive challenge for pilots who want to practise visual approaches, short-field techniques, or line up a jet for a dramatic runway 19 arrival over the beach.
# How this release fits in M'M's catalog
# Price and availability LGSK Skiathos Airport is available now through the Contrail store for $17.49 (around €15 before VAT). M'M Simulations sceneries are offered at a 30% discount until October 10, which may make picking up multiple titles more affordable.
# Who should consider this add-on
- A visually accurate Greek island airport with interior modelling.
- A short-field, visually demanding arrival to practise pilot skills.
- A spotter-friendly location in the sim for photography and low passes.
If you rarely fly visual approaches or prefer long runways and full ILS approaches, Skiathos will be a niche but rewarding destination rather than a routine hub.
# Quick takeaway M'M Simulations' LGSK brings Skiathos' well-known visual approaches and local scenery into MSFS 2024 with interior detail and handcrafted terrain. It's priced modestly and currently eligible for a short promotional discount on the developer's catalogue.
