Boost from the restart of tourism and the restart of investment in Thriasio
2022 was a growth year for Goldair, which restarted engines with sparks mainly from the tourism rally in the second half of the year and entered new markets such as India.
The revival of the large investment in Thriasio I, which has been pending for more than a decade, opens new horizons for the Greek Group, which also acquires new storage areas in Heraklion and Aspropyrgos. By investing in its human resources, after two unprecedented years marked by the pandemic crisis, Goldair is putting forward the implementation of its development plan.
In the field of ground handling, demand exceeded in the second half of the year even the levels of 2019. The rapid recovery of Greek tourism, as recorded in the traffic of the regional airports, which broke records, led to the recovery of Goldair Handling. The company reached 91% of flights in 2019, while presenting an increase of 33% compared to 2021.
Overseas expansion and fleet renewal
The company, which is already active in the markets of Bulgaria, Cyprus and Switzerland, put 2022 forward for its development planning. A new stop on her route is India. He founded Goldair India, which in collaboration with the Indian firm LAS Ground Force, went on to form Goldair-LAS. Through tender processes, the company has started operations at two airports in the country, Bagdogra and Udaipur, and is already participating in other tenders to expand its network in India.
Within 2022, Goldair Handling has succeeded in renewing its operating license at “Eleftherios Venizelos” for the next 7 years, following an international competitive process, in the categories of aircraft handling on the runway, baggage handling, cargo and mail handling as well as disabled passenger handling.
