Corfu is served by Corfu International Airport (CFU), a major seasonal airport on the Ionian island of Corfu, Greece. Its flight schedule is intensely seasonal, with a vast network of direct charter and scheduled flights from across Europe during the summer tourist season (April-October) arriving into Corfu and very limited winter service.
The most frequent and affordable flights to Corfu are seasonal direct routes from key European tourist markets. During the peak season, numerous flights operate from the UK (London, Manchester, Birmingham, Bristol), Germany, Scandinavia, the Netherlands, France, and Eastern Europe into CFU. Year-round, the most important connections are domestic flights from Athens (ATH) and Thessaloniki (SKG) to Corfu, and possibly a limited international scheduled service from a few European hubs.
The summer market is dominated by European charter and low-cost carriers flying to Corfu. TUI, Jet2, easyJet, Ryanair, and Eurowings operate extensive seasonal networks from their respective countries to CFU. Aegean Airlines and Olympic Air provide the essential domestic links from Athens and year-round connectivity into Corfu. Competition is fierce on popular tourist routes to the island, driving down fares.
To find cheap flights to Corfu, book summer European charter flights as part of a package 4-8 months in advance for arrival into CFU. For scheduled summer flights to Corfu, book 3-6 months ahead. For domestic flights from Athens to Corfu, book at least 4-8 weeks in advance, even in summer. The airport is very quiet from November to March, with drastically reduced options for arriving passengers. Flying mid-week can offer significant savings on both package and scheduled flights to Corfu. For off-season travel to the island, connecting through Athens is almost always necessary. Corfu is ideal for direct summer arrivals but not for flexible year-round travel.
