Athens Airways - Athens Airlines - Athens Air

Athens Airways offers its maiden flights to Alexandropoulis in Northern Greece, with other destinations being added during the spring.

As Athens Airways tries to establish itself, you can expect some exceptional fares. It also is looking to become better known prior to the planned expansion of its fleet later in 2009.

With only one plane at launch, the schedule is limited. But Athens Airways was also one of the surviving bidders for Olympic Air - but even without taking over the national airline, Athens Airways will be a force to be reckoned with.

As a small, regional airline, Athens Airways may not show up in the comparison engines since it does not have relationships in place with many other airlines. Without those connections, most comparison engines won't bother listing them as an option.

As a domestica airline, Athens Airways is relying on a leased fleet of small 50-seat jet aircraft. While these are more comfortable than the turbo props used by Olympic Airlines on some island flights, they are still fairly small. Yet they may be too big for some smaller airports.

It's always nice to hear of an airline being on time - Athens Airways wasn't expected to begin operations until March 2009, and they managed to offer their first flight on the last weekend of January.
