It is located 7 km (4 NM) from the town of Messini and 17 km (9 NM) from the city Kalamata.

Triodos Airport was used for 20 years for civil aviation.

Due to the need for a longer runway, on 19 July 1970 flying operations were transferred to the Kalamata International Airport.

Today, it is used for ultralight aviation and radio-controlled aircraft.

The airport has an elevation of 11 metres (36 ft) above mean sea level.
