Athens International Airport (ATH)

Since March 2001, Athens International Airport keeps offering high-level services, having earned the trust of airlines, passengers, partners, and stakeholders. Having welcomed throughout this period more than 370 million passengers and over 4 million flights, the airport keeps creating significant value for the national, regional & local economy, its shareholders, all stakeholders, and the wider public, continuously seeking to enhance the connectivity of Athens, as a city-break, year-round sustainable destination.

In terms of traffic, the year 2023 ended with Athens International Airport’s traffic amounting to 28.17 million passengers, exceeding the 2022 levels by 24% and higher than the respective 2019 levels by 10.2%.
