Aug 18, 2015 (newstodate): Airports have become the first privatization object in Greece in response to the MoU between Greece and its international lenders on a new three-year bailout program.
Based on a tender in 2014 for concessions at 14 domestic airports in Greece, Fraport emerged as the preferred investor for the lease and management of 14 regional airports in cooperation with the Greek energy company Copelouzos.
The deal was to be closed already last autumn but was stalled as the incoming new Greek government demanded to re-examine the terms.
All issues have now been settled, and Fraport will take over the regional airports at Thessaloniki, Corfu, Chania, Kefalonia, Zakynthos, Aktion, Kavala, Rhodes, Kos, Samos, Mytilini, Mykonos, Santorini and Skiathos.
