The Greek Civil Aviation Service is about to be split into two completely separate bodies, after the issue of the Presidential Decrees, following a Parliamentary Act passed two years ago.
The first new body will be APA, the Independent Agency to which all 44 airports of Greece, both private and state-run will be appertained to.
The second body will be the Civil Aviation Service which will be the responsible Authority for management of the state-owned airports in Greece.
Among the new responsibilities of the Independent Agency APA will be the air traffic management that is growing fast due to the boost of the Greek Tourism, the aeronautical information services as well as meteorological, administrative and security services.
According to information, the two new bodies will employ 3,000 people.
