Flight delays in Greek airports have surged by 63% over the past year, with significant challenges stemming from outdated air traffic control systems dating back to the 1990s and a lack of experienced air traffic controllers. The increase in delays is occurring in the context of record air traffic, particularly during the summer tourist season, leading to a strain on infrastructure at major airports like Eleftherios Venizelos and Macedonia.
The Hellenic Civil Aviation Authority (YPA) attributes the delays to a combination of high passenger traffic and geopolitical developments affecting flight flow. Reports indicate that Eleftherios Venizelos Airport is operating at maximum capacity, with approximately 900 commercial flights taking place each day. A meeting has been scheduled to address these pressing issues and explore potential solutions to alleviate the growing backlog of delays affecting travelers.
