Fraport Greece offers airlines cheaper fees to attract new business

Fraport Greece, a Fraport-led consortium, will slash airport fees by 50% during this year’s low season to attract new international flights to 14 Greek airports, it said on Wednesday. Fraport Greece, a consortium of Germany’s Fraport and Greek group Copelouzos, has operated 14 airports including those at popular tourist destinations such as Santorini and Rhodes since April last year. “We are confident that this incentive will help increase passenger traffic in the winter months as well as extend the tourism season, which is the biggest challenge for both local communities and us,” Fraport said. Low-season months are typically November through to March. The 14 airports handled 27.6m passengers last year, a 10.3% annual increase, and Fraport has said it expects a similar rise this year.<br/>
