Ει βούλει καλώς ακούειν, μάθε καλώς λέγειν, μαθών δε καλώς λέγειν, πειρώ καλώς πράττειν, και ούτω καρπώση το καλώς ακούειν. (Επίκτητος)

(Αν θέλεις να σε επαινούν, μάθε πρώτα να λες καλά λόγια, και αφού μάθεις να λες καλά λόγια, να κάνεις καλές πράξεις, και τότε θα ακούς καλά λόγια για εσένα).

(*) Local Time

It should be noted that during the periods mentioned above, helicopters will carry out emergency flights (e.g. ambulance helicopters for patients’ airlifts, search and rescue, fire-fighting, humanitarian, government and other national flights) if required, while all other airport services within the terminals, will be available to the interested public.

The above works concern the complete reconstruction of the runways at the airports, aiming to further enhance the already high level of safety and include, among others, extensive interventions to reconfigure the Runway Strips and the Runway Safety Areas (RESA).

These works form part of the Concession Agreement. They are carried out under sustainable conditions and respect for the land, as supporting sustainable development and social responsibility are Fraport Greece’s highest priorities.

The runways’ suspension of operation is necessary due to the size and complexity of the project. Nevertheless, according to the planning, the specified intervals are the shortest possible period during which the runways can be suspended.

Regulatory compliance and safety, at all levels, are key priorities for the company. It is worth noting that these works are part of a broader plan to further upgrade the already high level of safety and operation of the 14 regional airports managed by Fraport Greece. As mentioned above, they are related to large-scale projects to be executed by the company, as part of the Recovery and Resilience Fund financing.
