Now
After the war Maleme airfield came under the control of the Greek military and was used for decates, often as a landing zone for paratroops. Today it is no longer active, but is still under the control of the armed forces. The future of the airfield is uncertain although some action is taken by various groups in order to become a protected historic site.
