The selection of a preferred consortium of consultants for Kalamata Airport paves the way for the development of the other smaller regional airports. “The development of Kalamata Airport will give a strong impetus to tourism, not only in the region, but also in the central and southern Peloponnese as a whole. It will expand and upgrade Kalamata’s air connectivity with important travel markets abroad, acting as a catalyst for the further development and upgrade of the tourism product, with obvious benefits for society and the economy of the wider region,” said HCAP Portfolio Manager Dimitris Konstantakopoulos. In 2019, the airport of Kalamata handled 341,000 passengers, 317,000 of whom arrived on international flights. Following the completed deal for Kalamata Airport, the HCAP will be preparing to take similar actions for the utilization of the country’s other regional airports. Indicatively, a total of 1.8 million passengers went through Greece’s other 22 regional airports on more than 36,000 flights in 2019.
