Athens International Airport has reported a 6.6pc fall in nine-month net profit to €173.5m, mainly because of a temporary discount on passenger charges. Passenger numbers rose 4.3pc to 27.3m in the period to the end of September. The decline was primarily driven by a 30pc temporary discount on the Passenger Terminal Facility charge.
The discount applied from 1 October 2025 to 30 April 2026. Aviation revenue dropped 1.0pc to €393.6m as a direct result of the passenger fee discount. Operating expenses rose 4.2pc to €187.6m due to inflation, wage increases and staffing requirements for the EU Entry/Exit System. Non-aviation revenue increased 5.4pc to €136.4m supported by retail and food and beverage performance.
Adjusted EBITDA stood at €331.2m for the period. The airport operator maintains its full-year 2026 guidance forecasting a mid-single-digit percentage increase in passenger traffic. The tender process to expand the main terminal’s south pier commenced in October 2026 with heavy construction slated to begin in the second half of 2027.
