Project Overview
The Mykonos Airport expansion transforms a constrained island airport into a modern gateway capable of handling the island’s extraordinary tourism demand. Our team delivered complete MEP engineering services, creating systems that perform reliably in extreme summer conditions while respecting the island’s architectural character.
