Roumeli International Airport

Roumeli International Airport is one of the four international airports in Cattala, located west of the main city on the island of Roumeli, Thermopylae. In July 2013, the private investment company Arnault Gautier Group, purchased Roumeli International Airport, the Roumeli Airport Station and surrounding land that will form a part of what will be known as Roumeli Gateway, for $560million. It had previously been owned by the now-dissolved Cattala Airport Management Authority.

Roumeli Airport was created in the 1930s and was at one point the busiest airport in Cattala, with connections to all three other airports and exclusive routes between Cattala, Greece, Turkey and North Africa. Since the Second World War is has declined and was, until 2008, the smallest of Cattala's international airports by volume of passengers. A multimillion lira redevelopment programme began in 2000 with the construction of an entirely new terminal, railway and bus stations and upgrades for the runway. Between 2008 and 2011 passenger numbers rose by over 40% to 2.3 million, and rose by a further 600,000 passengers between 2011 and 2013.

Future plans for the surrounding area includes the construction of two hotels, a shopping centre and the new Roumeli Expo Centre next to the station. A terminal extension is currently under construction.

To increase passenger numbers further, the Arnault Gautier Group has confirmed it plans to create new routes to North Africa and the Middle East for the first time, and Onaala Air will be using Roumeli as the hub airport for their new European services, becoming the first international airline to hub in a Cattalian airport other than Jennai. The Arnault Gautier Group has pledged to expand the airport to more than 3 million passengers by 2015, a target almost reached in 2013, and aims to displace Calora International Airport as the secondary airport in Cattala by 2017.
