Aegean Airlines S.A.

Allgemeine Informationen

We are a member of Star Alliance, Greece’s largest airline providing at our inception in 1999 until today, full service, premium quality short and medium haul services.

On 23rd October 2013 we acquired Olympic Air; as a result passengers now have increased flight frequencies and connections as well as improved accessibility to Greece’s islands, including some of the more remote, both for visitors and Greeks alike. Total traffic of both companies reached 10,1m passengers in 2014.

We invest in strengthening our international presence and in supporting the Greek tourism both in Athens and in regional airports. In line with this, our 2016 timetable includes a network of 145 destinations, 111 international in 45 countries and 34 domestic, with 16,200,000 available seats, i.e. 1,1 million more seats than in 2015. The flights will be performed with one of the youngest fleets in Europe, comprising 61 aircraft, after our recent investment in new additional Airbus A320ceos. The flight increase will be more intensive in 2016 from the main base of Athens, but shall also cover activities from our 8 other bases (Heraklion, Rhodes, Corfu, Chania, Kos, Kalamata, Thessaloniki & Larnaca).

As an outcome of our efforts, in 2015 we transferred a total of 11,65 million passengers, on top of being honored with the Skytrax World Airline award, as the best European regional airline for 2016. It is the seventh time that we receive this distinction, the previous ones being in 2009, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016.
