New passenger terminal building at Skiathos international airport, Greece

Technical Details

The terminal is a two-storey structure, which retains its L-shaped footprint. The expansion is a linear volume that occupies the almost entire landside length of the existing terminal building T2. Passenger flows for Schengen and non-Schengen operations are fully segregated, with adaptable areas that can dynamically accommodate fluctuations in real-time demand.

The facility encompasses a total functional area of 9,526 m², 2,185 m² of which relate to the extension. The total built area is 8,746 m².

All architectural design phases were subject to oversight by the Independent Engineer, who reviewed the documentation and issued the Design Approval Certificate. The design was also approved by the Hellenic Civil Aviation Authority. Construction was completed in 2021, with as-built documentation duly submitted.
