According to Zinell, Fraport Greece will invest in a new, modern terminal building at the ‘Odysseas Elytis’ airport in Mytilini that will meet the needs of the residents and the expectations of Lesvos’ visitors. The total size of the terminal will triple in comparison to today’s, reaching 7,185 m2.

The plans presented by Zinell also include the construction of a new fire station, new Waste Water Treatment Plant and a new apron.

Significant interventions for the improvement of services will also be implemented, including a 29 percent increase in Check-in desks and a 50 percent increase in security lanes.

Fraport Greece is expected to begin works immediately at the ‘Odysseas Elytis’ airport.
