Athens International Airport's September 2026 traffic release reports that since the beginning of 2026 passenger traffic reached 27.31 million (27,310,164), above 2025 levels by 4.3%. Its 2025 statistics show total traffic of 33,993,746 passengers, up 6.7%.

— 1 · The Locked Call

Athens Airport handles at least 34.9 million passengers in 2026 — P = 0.92.

We lock a binary: Athens International Airport's total passenger traffic for calendar 2026, as published in its December 2026 traffic statistics, is 34,900,000 or more. Confidence 92%.

That is full-year growth of about 2.7% on 2025's 33,993,746. The company raised its own 2026 outlook at the half year from low-single-digit to mid-single-digit growth, as reported at the time; the lock sits well below that.

— 2 · The arithmetic

27.31 million banked. The last quarter can shrink.

January to September produced 27,310,164 passengers against 26,193,309 a year earlier. The fourth quarter of 2025 therefore carried 7,800,437. Reaching 34.9 million needs 7,589,836 in the fourth quarter of 2026: a 2.7% year-on-year decline would still pass.

Growth has slowed through the year, from high single digits early on to the low single digits by September. The lock fails only on a swing of roughly six points in fourth-quarter growth: a regional conflict, an airline failure or a major disruption.

— 3 · Provisional numbers, and a name collision

The December release governs. This is not AIA Group.

Monthly traffic figures are provisional when first published and finalised later. The criterion takes the full-year total as published in the December 2026 release, the first-published figure.

First Greece lock. A name trap worth stating: AIA Group (P-210) in this series is the Hong Kong insurer, an entirely different company. This lock is Athens International Airport S.A.
