9M 2025 TRADING UPDATE| 2 Business Developments Traffic Developments During 9Μ 2025, the Airport’s passenger traffic totaled 26.2 million, 6.7% higher vs 9Μ 2024 with domestic traffic growing by 2.2% and international traffic growing by 8.5%. Passenger traffic has outperformed the prior year during each quarter this year (%2025/2024: Q1: +11.4%, Q2: +5.3%, Q3: +5.4%). During the peak summer season Athens Airport continued to experience a r obust performance, including strong trends from the US and Middle East , which enabled AIA to stand out as one of Europe ’s most connected hub s (ranked 8th in Europe5). Direct transatlantic routes are also developing with Athens now connected to 9 US cities, with 103 weekly departures, nearly double the frequency seen just two years ago. The latest market trends and developments suggest that passenger demand during the peak summer period and beyond will maintain a growth trajectory of mid-single digit growth for 2025, however the geopolitical tensions and the resulting macroeconomic challenges remain important decisive factors for the next months’ air traffic evolution. 5 OAG 2025 Rankings. 5,2 8,8 10,5 5,8 9,3 11,1 0,0 2,0 4,0 6,0 8,0 10,0 12,0 Q1 Q2 Q3 Passengers by Quarter Million 2024 2025 11.4% 5.3% 5.4% 7,3 7,5 17,2 18,7 24,6 26,2 0,0 5,0 10,0 15,0 20,0 25,0 30,0 9M 2024 9M 2025 Passengers 9M Million International Domestic 2.2% 8.5% 6.7%

9M 2025 TRADING UPDATE| 3 Financial Overview Revenues and other income Revenues and other income amounts in EUR million 9M 2025 % on total 9M 2024 % on total Change Δ % Air Activities revenues 397.5 75.4% 387.7 76.2% 9.8 2.5% Non-Air Activities revenues 129.5 24.6% 121.3 23.8% 8.1 6.7% Total revenues and other income 526.9 509.0 17.9 3.5% During 9M 2025, total revenues and other income increased by 3.5% to €526.9 million, compared to €509.0 million in 9M 2024, reflecting Airport Charges pricing adjustments6 and strong commercial performance. Revenues and other income from Air Activities increased by 2.5% versus 9M 2024, to € 397.5 million. The main contributor to this growth has been passenger traffic growth and the Company’s 2025 Airport Charges adjustments in line with regulatory framework, including the sustainability support scheme effective from January 2025. Revenues and other income from Non-Air Activities increased by 6.7% in 9M 2025, versus the prior year, to €129.5 million, in line with traffic growth with healthy retail performance offsetting car parking revenue headwinds due to operational disruptions associated with the launch of construction for the Multi Storey Parking (MSP) in July 2025. Operating Expenses Operating expenses amounts in EUR million 9M 2025 % on total 9M 2024 % on total Change Δ % Operating expenses excl. Grant of rights fee – variable fee component 143.6 79.7% 128.1 81.2% 15.5 12.1% Grant of rights fee - variable fee component 36.5 20.3% 29.7 18.8% 6.7 22.7% Total operating expenses 180.1 157.8 22.2 14.1% During 9M 2025, operating expenses reached €180.1 million, a €22.2 million increase or 14.1% versus the prior year. A significant part of this variance derives from the substantial increase of the variable portion of the Grant of Rights Fee (GoRF) to € 36.5 million from € 29.7 million, calculated on the basis of increased previous year ’s profitability. Excluding the variable portion of the GoRF, operating expenses were by €15.5 million or 12.1% higher than 9M 2024, mainly as a result of: • additional resources (in-house and outsourced) required to handle significantly higher traffic compared to the respective period last year, • the increase in minimum wages as per legislation in April 2025, along with the full year impact of the minimum wage increases in April 2024, • the increased electricity cost attributed to higher electricity prices, and • enhanced provision for planned heavy maintenance of runways, taxiways and airfield lighting. 6 AIA applied in 2025 the following airport charges adjustments: a) temporary reduction of the Passenger Terminal Fee (PTF) charge by 30%, effective from October 1st,2025 and until April 30th 2026, and b) introduction of a Sustainability Support Scheme (SSS) form January 1st, 2025 to December 31st, 2025 providing a per departing passenger rebate on the PTF, ranging from €0.80 to €1.50 depending on aircraft type.
