International airport serving Athens, Greece
Athens International AirportEleftherios Venizelos (IATA :ATH ,ICAO :LGAV AIA , is thelargest international airport inGreece , serving the city ofAthens and region ofAttica . It began operation on 28 March 2001 (in time for the2004 Summer Olympics ) and is the main base ofAegean Airlines , as well as other smaller Greek airlines. It replaced the oldEllinikon International Airport .[ 2]
Athens International Airport is currently a member of Group 1 ofAirports Council International (over 25 million passengers).[ 3] [update] 15th-busiest airport in Europe and the second busiest and second largest in the Balkans, afterIstanbul Airport .
Development and ownership [ edit ] Terminal VOR/DME at Athens International Airport AIA is located between the towns ofMarkopoulo ,Koropi ,Spata andLoutsa , about 20 km (12 mi) to the east of central Athens (30 km (19 mi) by road, due to intervening hills). The airport is named afterElefthérios Venizélos , the prominent Cretan political figure and Prime Minister of Greece, who made a significant contribution to the development of Greek aviation and theHellenic Air Force in the 1930s.[citation needed As to-date, the airport is operated byAIA S.A. and ownership is divided between the Hellenic Republic (Greek State) and Private Sector in a 55%-45% stake following aPPP scheme for the airport company.[ 4] [ 5] PSP Investments of Canada (40%), following purchase ofHochtief 's shares.[ 6]
The airport was constructed to replace the now-closedAthens (Ellinikon) International Airport , as the latter had reached its saturation point with no physical space for further growth.[ 7] Spata was chosen as suitable.[ 7] Athens Airport SA , a state-owned company, was established in 1978 to proceed with the plans. However, after delays and slow development, the project was revived in 1991, approximately 1 year after the city lost the right to host the1996 Summer Olympics to Atlanta, USA and the possibility of submitting a bid for the 2000 Game was discussed. However, the city presented the project that was eventually the winner for the2004 Summer Olympic Games , with the then government launching an international tender for the selection of abuild-own-operate-transfer partner for the airport project, withHochtief of Germany being selected.[ 7]
In 1996,Athens International Airport S.A. (AIA) was established as aPublic–private partnership with a 30-yearconcession agreement.[ 1] Attiki Odos not being completed.[ 7] [ 8] European Aviation Safety Agency [ 9] Federal Aviation Administration [ 9] A380 .[ 9] Emirates .[ 10]
[ edit ] TheGreek government-debt crisis reduced the overall passenger traffic of the airport for six consecutive years. Many long-haul airlines outright terminated service to the airport, while others chose to operate on a seasonal basis only, opting to terminate service during the winter months.[ 11] Olympic Airlines , which operated many long-haul flights to and from the airport. In 2013, the airport handled just above 12.5 million passengers, 3.2% fewer than in 2012 and lower by approximately 25% when compared to 2007's traffic, which was the all-time-high at that time.[ 1]
[ edit ] 2014 signaled a strong recovery for the airport's passenger traffic. More than ten new airlines started new flights to and from Athens. Aegean Airlines strengthened its network by 30% (with many more destinations scheduled for 2015) while Ryanair established a new base in the Athens Airport and added eight destinations. During 2014 the airport operators reported a passenger traffic volume of 15.1 million passengers, an increase of over 21%. This was the result of new destinations, and capacity increases on existing routes, such as the resumption of flights by Singapore Airlines and Gulf Air,[ 12] [ 13] Etihad Airways andQatar Airways to fly more frequently to and from Athens.[ 14] [ 15] [ 16] Delta Air Lines resumed their weekly flights andAmerican Airlines retained their seasonal schedules to/from USA with even more frequent connectivity. From 2017 onwards, year-round services to Singapore were scheduled to resume after more than five years, with flights operated byScoot .[citation needed
According to AIA published statistics, total traffic for 2015 achieved an impressive performance reaching almost 18.1 million passengers, an all-time-record for the airport at that time, increased by 19% on year-over-year basis[ 17] [ 18] [citation needed
[ edit ] 2016 was a landmark year for the Athens International Airport, both for domestic and international destinations. Annual results reflected a solid performance for a third year in a row fueled by double-digit growth, this time passing the twenty million mark, increased by 10.7% on year-over-year basis.[ 19] [ 20] [ 21] [ 22]
For the first ten months of 2023, the airport traffic shows signs of further increase with passenger numbers up by 19.5%[ 23] [ 24]
In the second half of June 2018Emirates added an extra daily flight from its base inDubai Airport using theAirbus A380 superjumbo,[ 25] [ 26]
Check-in area Waiting area The airport currently has two terminals, the main terminal and the satellite terminal accessible by an underground link from the main terminal. It is designed to be extended in a modular approach over the ensuing years in order to accommodate increases in air travel. These extensions are planned in a six-phase framework. The first (and current) phase allowed the airport to accommodate 26 million passengers per year. When the airport originally opened, the current phase called for a capacity of only 16 million passengers per year; however, the capacity was able to increase without progressing to the next phase thanks to advanced IT logistics.[ 27] [ 7] [ 27]
The main terminal building handles all intra-Schengen flights, as well as several non-Schengen flights. All of the airport's 153 check-in desks are located in the Main Terminal and it has three separate levels, one for arrivals, one for departures and a food court level complete with a view of the eastern runway. Finally, the terminal is equipped with fourteenjet bridges and eleven belt conveyors for luggage.
Hall A is used for flights to Non-schengen countries and Non-European countries.Hall B handles flights to Intra-schengen countries as well as domestic services.In March 2018, the Athens International Airport issued a tender for its first physical expansion, concerning the south wings of the main terminal.[ 28]
The satellite terminal has two levels, one for arrivals and the other for departures.[ 27]
In recent years its parking stands were utilized for long-term storage of airliners, specifically two ex-Olympic Airways Airbus A340-300s (both aircraft were transferred to its new owner in February 2017)[ 29] Boeing 767-300ER of defunct Greek start-up carrierSkyGreece Airlines . However, as of June 2017, the parking space of the satellite terminal is in full use for both Schengen and non-Schengen area flights and to accommodate increased traffic. From June 2017 some low-cost carriers were using it. On 24 May 2018, the Satellite Terminal officially restarted full operations. The airlines using it areRyanair ,Easyjet ,Vueling ,Eurowings ,Norwegian ,Transavia andTransavia France ,TUIfly Belgium ,Wizz Air ,Delta Air Lines andAir Transat .[citation needed
