Fraport completes the upgrade of 14 Greek Regional Airports: Our contribution to the airports of Skiathos and Rhodes

In January 2021, Fraport announced the completion of its four-year infrastructure development program at the 14 regional airports under its management in Greece, three months ahead of the April 2021 contractual deadline. The EB/Architects team were involved in the design of two of the 14 airports.

In January 2021, Fraport announced the completion of its four-year infrastructure development program at the 14 regional airports under its management in Greece, three months ahead of the April 2021 contractual deadline.

The overall development project included the construction of five new airports, five extensions and refurbishments, four airport remodels, the construction and renovation of 12 fire stations and the renovation of 12 runways, as well as the installation of modern luggage management and explosives detection systems.

The EB/Architects team, as part of our cooperation with OBERMEYER SA, were involved in the design of two of the 14 airports. We prepared the preliminary study for the Rhodes airport for Fraport, while in 2017 we undertook the refurbishment and expansion of Skiathos Airport, in all stages from Architectural Concept to the production of Issued for Construction documentation.

JSI Skiathos Airport Terminal - BIM Architecture Greece - EB/Architects

For the project of Skiathos Airport "Alexandros Papadiamantis" in particular, we supported the Architectural Design by implementing BIM in all stages, coordinating the teams involved. This included performing spatial coordination and clash detection checks across disciplines, 4D scheduling, preparing virtual reality immersive presentations, computational analysis of the building program and verification design options.

The successful renovation of the existing airport terminal included, among other things, extension of nearly 2,200 sq.m., reorganization of the airport apron area, a new fire station, increase of check-in counters and departure gates, doubling of security-check lanes, control and management and regeneration of the surrounding area and vehicle parking area.
