01 Joint Address by the Chairman and the CEO
local development. Beyond the applied Professor Nickolaos G Travlos
regulatory framework, the Airport Chairman of the Board of Directors
Company values the engagement
of local stakeholders which further
contributes to a balanced and
fruitful co-existence. In 2013 we
effectively responded to requests for
infrastructure projects and contributed
to diverse social, cultural, ecological
and sporting activities.
On a broader citizenship perspective,
we consistently promote our country’s
cultural heritage and contemporary art,
while connecting social contribution
with our business objectives by
promoting the city of Athens as a
tourist destination. During the 1st
Airport Chief Executives’ Symposium
(ACES) which was held in Athens in
October 2013, an important “City-
Pair” initiative was launched. Under
a scheme of cooperation and mutual
support, eighteen fellow airports
from around the world committed
to promote Athens as a destination
with the campaign “Perhaψ you’re
an Aθenian, too!”. The campaign
addresses a potential market of nearly
170,000,000 passengers.
On the humanitarian front, we
remained committed to support
numerous organisations for children
and social groups in need. In 2013,
AIA made a significant contribution
towards the Association of Friends of
Children with Cancer “ELPIDA”.
In 2013, AIA enhanced its digital
footprint by launching the new
corporate website and introducing its
Facebook and Twitter accounts. In
these rapidly changing times, our aim
is to increase digital touch points and
reinforce the airport’s presence within
the ever-growing digital ecosystem,
always through an honest and
engaging dialogue with the public.
We aim to be an employer of choice,
attracting a committed workforce
and offering a safe and modern work
environment. We have a long-standing
commitment to creating a workplace
culture that encourages development
and makes the best use of the
knowledge and skills of our people.
The Training Plan in 2013 involved a
total of 15,131 hours of training, while
87% of the employees attended
at least one training session. The
