Athens completed on time
Article Abstract:
Construction of the new Athens International Airport Eleftherios Venizelos was completed in Oct 2000, and a five-month trial period at the airport has started. The Eleftherios Venizelos is a build-own-operate-transfer project of a German consortium led by Hochtief, ABB and Krantz-TKT, built at a fixed cost of 1.67 billion euros. It would have an initial capacity of 16 million passengers annually but can be increased to 25 million by expanding central handling facilities.
