The project includes:
-
Expansion of the Main Terminal by approximately 150,000 m², featuring new boarding points, commercial spaces, and passenger processing facilities. The existing facilities will be reorganized to meet demand, and the baggage handling (BHS) and baggage reclaim systems will be expanded. Special interventions will be made to the Satellite Terminal to accommodate non-Schengen flights.
The process is divided into two phases:
Phase 1: Selection of up to three contractors for the provision of ECI services. The Athens International Airport (AIA) will select up to three successful bidders (companies or consortia). The Phase 1 completion will be marked by the signing of the ECI Agreement. The selected contractors will work with AIA during the development phase of the project to finalize the terms for the next phase.
Phase 2: Awarding of the "Design & Build" contract to one of the selected contractors for the full design and construction of the project. Participants in Phase 2 who submit a valid proposal will receive a lump sum fee of €500,000.
The submission deadline for Phase 1 bids is May 30, 2025. The ECI contract is expected to be awarded in July 2025, while the final construction contract will be awarded in January 2026.
Interested parties must meet strict criteria regarding financial, technical, and insurance capabilities, hold quality certifications, have experience in large-scale airport projects in operation, and possess a history of project implementation within Greece. Specifically, bidders should have a turnover of €500 million in recent years and provide a letter from a financial institution confirming available financing of at least €200 million for the project.
Participation requires the signing of a confidentiality agreement and access to a Virtual Data Room (VDR), from which the full tender documents can be obtained.
