It is not because a company opens its wings to you with, as they say, great service, attractive prices and many other benefits, that your experience with it will remain an unforgettable moment.
In the airline industry, as in everything else, there are obviously disappointments. For many reasons, or sometimes simply for a bad sequence of circumstances, otherwise we must also recognize it, for lack of information on our part or because perhaps we did not choose what best corresponded to our expectations…
Today we are going to Greece with a company that over time has become a must for flying in this country. Namely Aegean Airlines.
The essentials for Greece
It is true that his name is not always the easiest to pronounce for the French and that his goal is very targeted. This does not prevent the Aegean company from having built a name and international fame over the years to the point of becoming, departing from many countries, the “essential” choice for traveling to Greece, particularly during the summer season. .
But it’s true that with around twenty Greek cities or islands scheduled and flights from almost all European countries (and even a few others), we couldn’t miss it…
Result: 15.5 million passengers transported in 2023 and for each summer more than 150 destinations planned in almost 50 countries with a 100% Airbus fleet including the brand new Airbus A320 and A321neo. And for the French there are 10 cities (Paris, Lyon, Marseille, Nantes, Bordeaux, Toulouse, Deauville, Basel-Mulhouse, Brest and Nice) to 3 Greek destinations (Athens, Heraklion and Thessaloniki) scheduled in the summer.
So, many positive things for a mainstream airline that is also a member of Star Alliance, one of the three main global airline alliances, and which has won some awards including “best regional airline in Europe” and a place in the Top50. of the “best companies in the world” for several years now. To which we must also add a series of positive opinions from its customers.
In short, a company to recommend for your country of origin and also, for those looking for a bit of originality, to travel to the Middle East (Amman, Dubai, Riyadh, etc.) via flights connecting with their base in Athens .
Creation: 1999 – Country of origin : Greece – Base : Athens and Thessaloniki – Devices: 76 – Portions: up to 165 summer destinations.
