Sept 9 (Reuters) - Athens International Airport (AIA) AIAr.AT (AIA) on Tuesday reported a 0.6% decline in first-half adjusted core profit, as higher operating costs offset growth in passenger traffic and revenue.
Adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortisation (EBITDA) for Greece's busiest airport stood at 182.3 million euros ($213.64 million) for the January-June period, compared with 183.4 million euros in the same period last year.
