A 24-hour strike at Germany’s major airports on Monday, March 10, has led to the cancellation of over 3,400 flights, affecting more than half a million passengers. The strike, organized by the Ver.di union, involves public sector and ground handling workers demanding wage increases. Key airports, including Frankfurt, Munich, and Berlin, are paralyzed, with Berlin Airport shutting down completely. The disruption follows a surprise strike at Hamburg Airport, impacting 40,000 passengers ahead of nationwide protests for better pay.
In a remarkable feat, the 14 regional airports managed by Fraport Greece welcomed over 36 million passengers in 2024, marking a 6.4% increase compared to 2023. This translated to an additional 2.1 million passengers passing through the airports.
Fraport Greece reported a 6.4% increase in passenger traffic for the first 11 months of 2024, reaching 35.22 million passengers. November saw an 11.6% rise in traffic compared to 2023, driven by an extended tourist season and a surge in international arrivals. The company plans to invest approximately €150 million in airport upgrades, including infrastructure improvements at popular destinations like Santorini, Mykonos, and Corfu. Fraport Greece continues to enhance its network to support the growing demand and strengthen Greece’s aviation sector.
