I hope, of course, that the infrastructure will send a strong signal to international markets that Greece is looking to the future creating a new, dynamic investment environment for the country and its people."

Schulte stated that there will be no layoffs, instead there will be new hirings: "Our goal for the Greek regional airports is growth. Therefore, we will need more staff, we want to recruit as many employees as possible at Fraport Greece," he said.

On the benefits for Greece, the chairman of Fraport said: "The Greek tourism industry will benefit from the promotion of cities and regions with airports as travel destinations, through the global network of Fraport. The aim is to increase passenger traffic and to extend the tourist season."
