Airlines honour Athens International Airport with one more international distinction Europe’s biggest airline and airport networking route development forum “Routes Europe 2014” (Marseille, 6-8 April), was concluded with one more distinction for the Athens International Airport, in the 4-20 m. passengers category, in recognition of the continuous, dynamic support it offers to its airline partners in their developmental efforts.
Athens International Airport (AIA) is the most awarded airport at Routes, where airlines evaluate the airports’ support programmes, rewarding the ones that address most efficiently airlines’ efforts to develop new routes or sustain existing ones.
On the occasion of this Routes award, AIA Communications and Marketing Director, Ioanna Papadopoulou, stated:
“I would like to warmly thank airlines for the recognition and reward of our efforts to contribute effectively in stimulating the Athens aviation market, and to strengthen the city attractiveness as a destination. After a long period of adverse market conditions, we continue together, having already entered a very dynamic recovery course. In 2013, traffic decline finally came at a halt, while, in the first quarter of 2014, traffic rose by almost 9% on average and the first 14 days of April demonstrate a +31% increase in passenger traffic. These first recovery signs, indicate very positive developments for the rest of the year.”
