The development of the Kavala “Alexander the Great” Airport will cost over 10 million euros and will be ready by 2019, Fraport Greece managing director Alexander Zinell announced in the city on Tuesday.
At a presentation of the company’s plans, Zindell noted that the works will begin shortly. Plans include an expansion of the terminal by 2,000 sq.m. and its remodelling, modern facilities for passengers, and the capacity to handle passenger traffic up to 2026 and beyond.
Zindell said that the airport is already fully staffed and operational, and able to handle the increased number of flights that are diverted to it from Thessaloniki, while the latter is undergoing upgrading.
Improvements at the Kavala airport will include a system to handle luggage, as well as the refurbishing and expansion of the fire station.
Fraport Greece, which won the concessions for 14 regional Greek airports, is presenting its plans in each of the 14 regions to share its plans and forge closer relations with local authorities and all involved parties.
The meeting in northern Greek city of Kavala was attended by local government authorities and agencies.
