Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis on Friday visited the construction site of the new Iraklio international airport at Kastelli.

The PM said the project, one of the largest in the country, “will be the most modern airport in the Mediterranean,” and is expected to operate in 2028.

“Crete is changing, resolving outstanding issues from the past, with infrastructure projects that will give it unprecedented growth and momentum,” Mitsotakis said, adding that “we are providing Crete with important infrastructure projects it desperately needed.”

He added that Kastelli airport will handle twice as many flights as the current Iraklio airport.
