Zinell said: “The last few years have been very challenging for the island and its people.
“From their unequivocal support to those that crossed the Aegean looking for a safe haven to their courageous handling of the catastrophic earthquake earlier this year, the people of Kos have demonstrated their perseverance and strength, while striving to maximise the island’s full growth potential.”
The modernisation of the airport is expected to support the local tourism industry.
Under the new plans, a new terminal and a fire station will be built. The sewage treatment facilities of the airport will be renovated and extended.
