In Thessaloniki, the fixed Macedonia Airport route fare increased from 25 to 28 euros for single tariffs and from 35 to 38 euros. euros for double tariffs. Additionally, the hourly rate for taxi waiting time rose from 15 to 20 euros, and the maximum agreed waiting fare between drivers and passengers increased from 25 to 40 euros. These changes took effect immediately following their publication in the Government Gazette (FEK). SATA and POEIATA stated the adjustments are necessary for “economic sustainability” due to rising costs for fuel, maintenance, insurance, and taxes.

Ministry sources clarified that the basic taxi tariff (single and double) and the minimum charge of 4 euros remain unchanged.
