Aircraft are coming from the north or from the east. When from the north aircraft will descend to traffic altitude and land visually from a right downwind. Traffic from the east will land on the ILS.
The most busy day is the sunday. The friday is extremely slow. On Rhodos you will find a lot of eastern europe and russian traffic. I also saw a blue IL96 landing but don't know what it was. Also a lot of scandivian and Austria etc. English planes only arrive during the night on Tuesday to wednesday and saterday on sunday. These are the only nights that traffic was flying.
Unfortunatly the airport don't seem to have a website and it is not possible to find arrivals and departures.
I can give more detail information in case requested.
