The 14 regional airports across Greece that the German-led Fraport Greece group operates are showing significant prospects for their commercial development, such as the opening of more stores and food service points, given that the rise in passenger numbers and improvement of services at the terminals is convincing more companies to invest in them.
A case in point is the recent agreement with US fast-food chain Burger King, which launched its first outlet in Greece at Rhodes Airport three months ago.

--- Quote ---Fraport posts record passenger traffic in its 14 regional airports for 2018
Among the airports with the highest rate of passenger traffic are the airports of Kefalonia (+ 21%)...
It is estimated that in the period 2017-2018, Fraport managed to increase passenger traffic in the 14 regional airports by a total of over 19%.

Sounds like a busy summer for Kef but not sure how much credit Fraport deserve for that. Did anyone book their holiday on the basis the airport was operated by Fraport? I think not. When there's a downturn in demand for Kef will Fraport accept the blame for fewer arrivals? I think not.

Just wondering if destinations (such as Kef) can handle a 300% increase in tourists :hmm:
