Regional airports concession

The concession of another 22 regional airports is the next big step the Ministry of National Economy and Finance is taking, in the context of the utilization of public property.

On Tuesday, referring to the goals of the year that has begun, Minister Kostis Hatzidakis said that “we are stepping on the gas in the utilization of public property,” which includes the “concession of small regional airports, on the model of the larger ones that have been conceded and constitute a success pattern.”

The ministry aims to proclaim a tender in the first half of the year, with slight reservation due to the transitional stage which the Growthfund is in.

The smaller airports concerned by the upcoming concession are: Chios, Alexandroupoli, Araxos, Karpathos, Limnos, Ioannina, Milos, Naxos, Paros, Ikaria, Kythira, Leros, Sitia, Nea Anchialos, Kalymnos, Skyros, Syros, Astypalaia, Kastellorizo, Kastoria, Kasos and Kozani.

As was the case with the first 14, larger regional airports, which were conceded to Fraport Greece, the 22 smaller airports will also be conceded as a package to the company that will prevail in the tender.
