Fraport Greece (FG) has selected US-based construction consulting firm Hill International to provide project management support and on-call technical support services for 14 Greek airports.
According to the three-year contract, Hill International will support the upgrades, maintenance, management, and operation of the airports.

FG operates airports in Aktion, Kavala, Thessaloniki, Kerkyra / Corfu, Chania / Crete, Kefalonia, Kos, Mytilene / Lesvos, Mykonos, Rhodes, Samos, Santorini, Skiathos and Zakynthos.
Since the signing of the agreement, FG has carried out work for the modernisation, development, and / or expansion of the airport infrastructure.
The work includes the refurbishment of current terminals and the construction of new landside and airside facilities in a bid to improve the operational processes, safety and travel.
