Flights to launch in the following days
According to the company’s flight schedule, flights will soon launch from Athens to Newcastle, Valencia and Eindhoven; from Thessaloniki to Barcelona, Nuremberg, Cologne, Hanover and Venice; from Heraklion to Vienna and Marseille; and from Rhodes to Belgrade.
I hope they add Vilnius to the schedule…soon!
Recently had a flight from Stockholm to Athens the negative is the cramped leg space which is worse than EasyJet – good airline but the leg space needs situation needs to be resolved
How I wish Olympic would return to Syros. Even one flight a week to Athens or Thessaloniki would make a huge difference and I’m sure it would be profitable. Lots of rich people visit Syros and they would surely welcome a seamless connection to Aegean’s international network.It’s a mystery to me why nearby Paros has several flights per day but the much more attractive Syros is lucky to have one flight per day.
The Athens-Syros is a Public Service route so the service is attributed by the government after a tender. The government chose Sky express during the last tender so thats why there is not Olympic anymore on this route
