==History==
The focus on civil aviation for the west of Crete has not always been on the current location. It was the [[Maleme Airport|airport of Maleme]] that served civil flights up to 1959, and dating back to the end of [[Second World War]].
 
Maleme (Military) Airport was constructed by the British Military, shortly before the Second World War. When the war was over, the facility was used as the main public airport of Chania.
 
In 1959, this activity was transferred to the military airport of Souda. 1967 saw the construction of the first passenger terminal and parking space for two aircraft. In 1974, the airport also began to serve international flights. Because of insufficient capacity, there was the need for a new terminal building. Eventually, in 1996, the new terminal was ready, measuring a surface area of {{convert|14650|m2}}, with 6 aircraft stands in front. It has a design capacity of 1.35 million passengers per year.
In 2000, it was officially named ''Ioannis Daskalogiannis''.
 
The airport is also intensively used by the [[Hellenic Air Force]].

In December 2015 the privatisation of Chania International Airport and 13 other regional airports of Greece was finalised with the signing of the agreement between the [[Fraport#|Fraport AG]]/Copelouzos Group joint venture and the state privatisation fund.<ref>http://www.tornosnews.gr/en/tourism-businesses/new-investments/13859-greece-signs-privatization-of-14-regional-airports-with-germany-s-fraport-for-e1-2-bln.html</ref> "We signed the deal today," the head of Greece's privatisation agency [[HRADF]], Stergios Pitsiorlas, told Reuters.<ref>http://uk.reuters.com/article/eurozone-greece-privatisation-idUKL8N1431P720151214</ref> According to the agreement, the joint venture will operate the 14 airports (including Chania International Airport) for 40 years as of autumn 2016.
