FSDG releases their rendition of Rhodes airport (LGRP), its nearby airport Maritsa, and some popular landmarks on the island for Microsoft Flight Simulator.

Located on the northwest part of the Island of Rhodes, the airport is situated along the Mediterranean sea. The airport is also called Diagoras International Airport. In addition, a few kilometers to the north leads you straight into the city center. As of 2019, Rhodes is considered to be the fourth busiest airport in Greece in terms of passenger count. Many seasonal flights to Rhodes are operated by a vast number of European carriers; Aegean Airlines and Sky Express operate regular services to the island. Not too far from Diagoros is Maritsa Airport. It is used by the military, however, during the slow season, Maritsa turns into an automobile raceway.

The Embraer Phenom 300 is one of the most popular corporate aircraft in operation today. It is certified for single pilot operations and  is also known for having long range and speed. The Phenom 300 was designed after high demands for a larger corporate jet and one that would allow operations to short field airports. Slightly over a decade old, the Phenom 300 has received numerous upgrades that have increased its speed and incorporated a larger fuselage. A total of four variants of the jet exist. One other variant offers a redesigned interior for medivac operations; another variant houses a more powerful engine.
