AEGEAN’s air performance kicked off on Thursday 25 September at the pre-show event at Flisvos where an Airbus A320 of AEGEAN and a DASH8 Q-400 of Olympic Air flew in formation. The two aircraft gave a fantastic performance, one that was held for the first time and also considered quite symbolic as next month is the one-year anniversary of the merger of the two companies.

At the Tatoi Airshow, on Sunday 28 September, pilots of AEGEAN met up with the Air Demonstration Team Individual Aircraft F-16 “Zeus” of the Hellenic Air Force. The Airbus A320 of AEGEAN and the Greek fighter F-16 “ZEUS” flew in formation and won favorable comments from the crowd.
