The Greek government has issued several urgent measures in an attempt to reduce a growing problem in Greece. On the surface, all is well as the country’s tourism sector continues to grow. According to the European Travel Commission, foreign arrivals in Greece are up 8% so far this year.
But this growth has placed a strain on public infrastructure, which has not been keeping up to support the strong and consistent increase in demand. This problem is particularly strong in the aviation sector, because of how highly regulated it is. Greek airports are now persistently experiencing flight delays, and the Greek government has decided to do something about it – urgently.
The Greek government turned to the Eurozone institutions for help, however, the help came with some tough conditions. One of these was the “relaunch” of privatization of regional airports.
