• the replacement and upgrade of the data network components for FIDS and the upgrade of 35 relevant interfaces.
Especially for the Airport Company, IT&T, in close cooperation with Finance Unit, successfully replaced two critical
corporate systems, the Airport Billing System and the system for the so called e-ADF (for the electronic collection of
the Airport Development Fund). The new systems incorporate a complete self-handled solution to the charging regime
and automated controls in order to ensure high degree of flexibility complying also with the respective security policies.
In the field of “out of the fence” activities IT&T unit completed successfully the IT&T Architecture and Strategy for
Warsaw Airport and the provision of maintenance support services towards the Hellenic Civil Aviation Authority for the
CUTE system installed at five Greek regional airports (Corfu, Thessaloniki, Rhodes, Heraklion and Kos) in addition to the
supply of equipment for the CUTE system. On top of the above, IT&T signed an agreement with HP HELLAS S.A., for the
provision of Data Center Services and Disaster Recovery Site services and has been awarded by the Hellenic Ministry of
Development, General Secretariat for Research and Technology (GSRT) a funded research project for the coordination
and the implementation regarding the “common airport environment concept”.
Other Corporate Projects & Developments
With regards to major development projects, our Company progressed throughout 2010 as follows:
• Taking into consideration the emerging operational and market situation, AIA decided not to proceed at this stage
with the Satellite Utilisation Project (SUP). The SUP primarily addressed the issue of the underutilisation of the Satellite
Terminal Building (STB) and the consequential strain applied on the MTB. AIA completed the outline design of the
project in 2009, will continuously monitor the development of the market and the associated operational and other
needs, and will decide in due time as to the implementation of the SUP.
• The detailed design of a multi-storey car parking facility was completed in 2010. The project is designed to face
increasing demand for car parking users over the last years. The facility will be located on the area of the current short-
term parking facility P1, opposite the MTB. It will consist of a 7-level, above ground building with a total gross floor
area of 102,000m2 and will be able to accommodate 3,600 cars and 181 motorcycles. The design describes a modern
parking facility targeting high quality services to the users using the latest technologies, while the project produces
attractive financial returns. The Airport Company will assess the market situation prior to the final decision for the
project’s implementation.
• AIA signed in 2010 the Agreement for the construction of a Photovoltaic Park of 8.05 MWp. The PV Park, currently
under construction, is scheduled to be operational by the end of 2011, producing more than 10.000.000kWh/yr to
be sold to the national electricity system, expanding AIA’s non-aeronautical revenue base. The PV Park is expected
to produce electrical energy, corresponding to 30% of the airports peak power requirements (or approximately 20%
of AIA’s electrical consumption) and contribute to the reduction of CO2 emissions by at least 10,000 tones annually,
equivalent to the amount absorbed by over 1,500,000 trees.
• As part of AIA’s strategy to develop external business activities, exporting our airport development and operational
know-how to other Greek and international airports, the Company has been successful in a number of relevant
projects. The most prominent new engagement in 2010 involves a two-year contract with Abu Dhabi Airport Company
for the provision of airport marketing survey services. This project proves AIA’s ability to penetrate the key emerging
international markets offering its diverse service portfolio.
3. Corporate Responsibility
• AIA consistent with the principles of the corporate responsibility policy is committed to a balanced approach towards
the economic, environmental and social aspects of airport business. The challenge to connect corporate interests with
the diverse needs of our customers, business partners and local communities is the cornerstone of our sustainability
strategy. We have established corporate policies and procedures to strengthen our culture of responsibility and
