Easyjet founder Stelios Haji-Ioannou says Greece needs more low-cost regional airports if it is to keep up the pace with other European hotspots.
The larger than life entrepreneur said airport taxes in Greece are in many cases higher than the cost of the ticket itself, and therefore many travellers decide to by-pass Greek destinations for less expensive neighboring countries.
He added: "Greece needs to attract low-cost companies to help boost tourism and to do this it needs to lower airport costs.
"Spain, Italy and France are full of low-cost airports attracting airlines and their customers. In Greece this hasn't happened because the airports are relatively expensive.”
