History of Tangara Airport

Currently, Tangara airport acts as the headquarters for the 114th Combat Wing of HAF, allowing maximum security for all passengers.

Naturally, the capital was favored. However, Tanagara Airport houses excellent maintenance providers for private jets and aircrafts, namely the Hellenic Aerospace Industry which is built adjoint to the airfield.
