GMR vies for airport projects in Greece, Kuwait.

GMR group has bid for airport development projects in Greece and Kuwait to add to its three overseas assets.

Last week Srinivas Bommidala, group’s chairman in charge of international airports met Greek officials to discuss investment opportunities in the country. Bommidala was part of an industry delegation accompanying Prime Minister Narendra Modi on his maiden Greece visit.

GMR group already has an under construction airport project on the island of Crete in Greece and has expressed interest in development of airport in Greek city of Kalamata. In June, the group qualified to participate in a tender to operate and maintain Kuwait international airport’s terminal 2.

“Greece, under its current leadership, is actively inviting foreign investment and GMR is actively looking for investment opportunities in the country including Kalamata airport,” a GMR Airports spokesperson said

“Progress at the Heraklion airport in Crete has been commendable. Construction has advanced to about 25 per cent and is aligned with project’s timeline. Ongoing efforts include terminal building concreting, external access road development, runway and taxiway construction,” the spokesperson added.
