Expansion work set to begin at Athens International Airport

·

Preliminary construction for the expansion of Athens International Airport is scheduled to commence in the first quarter of 2025.

The goal is to increase the airport’s capacity to accommodate up to 33 million passengers by 2028, according to an article by Dimitris Delevegos in ekathimerini.com.

The expansion will add 81,000 square meters to the terminal.

The 650-million-euro investment aims not only to address the current capacity limits but also to align with Eurocontrol’s forecasts, which project a steady increase in flights to Greece through at least 2029, albeit at a more moderate growth rate.
