Signs of a new era, eKathimerini

"The privatization of Greece’s regional airports is an extremely positive development for the country. Just looking at the terrible state of the airports at major international tourism destinations such as Santorini and Corfu is enough proof of Greece’s need to enter a new, modern phase".

Fraport is in for a hard landing at 14 airports, eKathimerini

"The main cause for concern is reportedly the behaviour of a number of employees, who are said to be refusing to familiarize incoming Fraport staff with the infrastructure and the engineering and electronic facilities. This is increasing the risk that certain problems may arise in areas such as the supply of power and light, in passenger service systems and so on, aviation sources warn".
