Reading these posts made me laugh, perhaps it is possible to have to much information, I’m one of those people who like to know what’s going on then I feel safer, others prefer not to and I can respect why, my Mum is just the same.
Corfu is NOT in any way dangerous to land into, if it was aircraft would simply not be allowed to land there. Like most Greek airfields it is a little more ‘Tricky’ or as the pilots call ‘Fun’. I have sat in the front many times on the landing into Corfu and the view is superb. Imagine landing at Corfu airport is like taking a right turn in your car, it’s a little more difficulty than turning left but you just pay a little extra attention and you have done it thousands of times before, no worries at all.
Also if you want any more re-assurance all the nav-aids (think of motorways in the sky and junctions to get off) have been upgraded now and Corfu has much better radar coverage than other areas in Greece, the aircraft can practically land itself there now, but we would never let it, the pilots can do a much better job.
I’m to lazy to read back but if I did post the word dangerous previously I may have taken it out of context, sorry if it caused any undue alarm, swap it for “slightly more challenging” and enjoy your flight.
Out of Corfu and Skiathos, Corfu is the one that requires the extra training for the pilots, Skiathos is just small.
