IATA calls for Greek investment in air traffic control, airports
Greece needs to invest to ensure the viability of its air traffic management system and recruit more air traffic controllers to reduce delays during the summer period, executives from IATA said Tuesday. IATA said Greece must also contain airport charges and expand terminal and runway capacity to maximise the potential of its air transport industry, which contributes about E17.8b, or 10.2%, to gross domestic product. "Air transport is such a lifeline for Greece's economy, a key driver. The potential is enormous but to unleash it, key recommendations must be addressed," IATA CE Alexandre de Juniac said. Greece, which is the eighth-largest aviation market in Europe and has been privatising its airports as it seeks to fully recover from 8 years of recession, grew its air connectivity by 106% from 2013 to last year. <br/>
