The space for the installation of the radar in the new Heraklion Airport under construction in Kastelli, was selected after complete studies and serves primarily the safety of the aviation, Deputy Minister of Infrastructure and Transport, Nikos Tahaios, said in response to a question.

Mr Tahaios stressed that a great deal of paraphrase has been developed around this matter, stating that “all these discussions end up in the long delay of a project, to torpedo a project, in having very important Greek government’s financial obligations to those who do the project.

The result you will see in Heraklion will be an excellent airport and mainly a safe airport. Because the radar will enter is primarily a matter of security of the airport operation and does not concern either a private or the public. It is about aviation and people who trust their movements on airplanes. “

As he pointed out, the facilities of the new airport have been studied in time and became the optimum choice of space.

On the subject of the studies he noted that: “Despite the paraphrase developed, there is no deficit in the way the issue was addressed to the Central Archaeological Council, but the scholars for their part have exhausted all possible possible presentation. But there was an extreme and a paraphrase on the other hand, which the Communist Party made sure to copy by adding his well -known ‘KKE’ from above, ”Mr Tahaios said.

Regarding the ownership of the new airport, the Deputy Minister of Infrastructure recalled that the Greek State is involved in the concession company with more than 44%.
