Changes to the layout and operation of the parking areas will take effect from July 10, 2025 at Athens International Airport as construction work for the new seven-storey car park will begin.
The new building with a capacity of 3,365 vehicles and a total area of 98,600 sqm at Athens International Airport is estimated to be ready in the second quarter of 2027. The project is part of Athens International Airport’s investment programme, which is being accelerated to accommodate up to 40 million passengers.
The total investment programme is estimated at approximately €1,280 million and will be implemented over the period 2025-32. Up to 50% of the investments are expected to be implemented by 2028 and the remaining part by 2032.
The investment programme will be financed mainly through debt (which has largely already been secured) and partly from aviation capital through the Scrip Dividend reinvestment programme.
