The debt crisis currently wracking Greece is having limited impact on the conduct of business aviation in that country, amid what is typically its busiest tourism period, according to industry sources. Foreign credit cards (those issued by non-Greek banks) are still being accepted and processed, but visitors to the country are advised to bring extra cash as they could face long lines at ATMs and possible withdrawal limits.
According to Universal Weather and Aviation, airports are functioning as normal with no effect on operations. The trip support provider told AIN it is currently handling all payments for its clients that are credit approved, while for others it is requiring credit cards so it can make charges in advance; wire transfers of money are blocked at present.
