Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis on Friday visited the construction site of the new Heraklion international airport in Kasteli on the island of Crete.
Referring to the airport project, which is one of the largest development projects being carried out in the country, Mitsotakis stressed that “it will be the most modern airport in the Mediterranean” and is expected to operate in 2028.
He added that “we are resolving outstanding issues from the past and are providing Crete with important infrastructure projects that it so desperately needed.”
The prime minister stressed that the new international airport will welcome more than double the number of flights that Heraklion “Nikos Kazantzakis” airport currently handles, commenting that the utilization of the area where the airport is currently located will also be beneficial for Heraklion.
Infrastructure and Transport Minister Christos Dimas who was accompanying the PM said that the work on the airport is now 67% complete.
PS I hope the area can also handle double numbers of people or nobody pays attention to the need for enhanced infrastructure?
