Significant investments and upgrading of Greek airports at the center of the 9th ITC Conference
At the 9th Infrastructure and Transport Conference (ITC 2026), which took place recently, discussions regarding the future of air transport in Greece dominated. The focus of the event was the development strategy for regional airports, which serve as the main gateway for millions of tourists every year.
Fraport Greece's Executive Director of Commercial and Business Development, George Vilos, presented the company's plan for the further upgrading of infrastructure. According to Mr. Vilos, the emphasis is on increasing airport capacity, as well as improving the passenger experience through the digitalization of services.
During his speech, it was highlighted that the development of airports is inextricably linked to the economic progress of local communities. The investments being implemented aim to extend the tourist season, offering better connectivity for the country's island and mainland regions throughout the year.
At the same time, the challenges facing the sector were discussed, such as the need for "greener" and more sustainable infrastructure. Fraport Greece committed to continuing efforts to reduce the environmental footprint of the airports, aligning with European goals for climate change.
The conference highlighted the importance of cooperation between the public and private sectors for the completion of major projects. The upgrading of airport infrastructure remains a priority for Greece, as it strengthens the country's position on the international tourism map and supports the national economy.
