LGAV was shut down because of snow in early 2002 at people were seriously inconvinced back then. The operating company said that it was a very rare event so they took no measures since doing so would cost them money and make them work.
The fine was from the Hellenic CAA to the operating company and fortunately airlines are about to file for damages.
As for LUton users don't pay 30something Euros in airport fees every time they fly.
It would be intresting to know how many Hellinikon LGAT has been closed in the previous decades
