The Mayor of Alexandroupolis, Mr. Giannis Zamboukis, in collaboration with the administration of the Port Authority of Alexandroupolis, will discuss the potential sites for the creation of a water airport in the near future.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">The Municipality of Alexandroupolis is in consultations with the partnership of Hellenic Seaplanes and Greek Water Airports regarding the process of creating a water airport.

We firmly believe in the positive impact the establishment of a water airport in Alexandroupolis will have, both in terms of tourism and commercial development, and in upgrading the transportation options available to our residents, who will now be able to use seaplanes for their travel!\u201d<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">In his statement, the President and CEO of Hellenic Seaplanes, Mr. Nicolas Charalambous, said regarding the Alexandroupolis Water Airport:<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\"><i>\u201cWe welcome the initiative of the Municipality to undertake the creation of the city\u2019s water airport, which will be integrated into the broader plan for the development of a strong network of water airports in Greece, thus activating the seaplane market in our country and bringing a revitalization to the field of Greek transportation. Seaplanes will certainly bring new opportunities for our tourism, as they will enhance the brand name of the areas that will have the infrastructure to host them. We hope that the licensing process will begin soon, so that the port of Alexandroupolis will have its water airport and the famous lighthouse of the city will welcome the seaplanes\u2026 It is worth noting that the Alexandroupolis water airport project is not new for Hellenic Seaplanes and Greek Water Airports, as an approach was made back in 2018 to undertake the technical file preparation, although the project did not proceed at that time.\u201d<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">The recent developments surrounding the Alexandroupolis water airport come as part of the growing activity seen recently regarding the development of water airports in Northern Greece.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":39158,"parent":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"categories":[283],"class_list":["post-39928","deltia-typou","type-deltia-typou","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-press-releases"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.1.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Seaplanes over the Lighthouse of Alexandroupolis\u2026!
