Accidents and incidents

• On 12 December 2009, an Olympic Air ATR 42, performing flight OA6 from Athens to Naxos, was on a visual approach to runway 36 and had been handed off to Naxos Tower by air traffic control. The airplane was then seen in full landing configuration on final approach to Paros' runway 35 on the adjacent island. Paros Tower made contact on its frequency and Naxos Tower and ordered the aircraft to go around. The crew aborted the approach and subsequently landed safely in Naxos.
• On 12 July 2019, a Sky Express ATR 42, about to perform flight GQ-405 from Naxos to Athens, was backtracking the runway for departure, when the aircraft went off the paved surface of the runway and came to a stop with the main gear in a ditch and the lower fuselage on the runway edge. There were no injuries, but the airport was closed for the rest of the day as a precautionary measure.
