Aegean AirlinesA3

Aegean Airlines is the flag carrier of Greece and the largest Greek airline by passengers carried, destinations served, and fleet size. Founded in 1987 and headquartered at Athens International Airport, Aegean has grown from regional operations to become a major European carrier with over 160 destinations across 46 countries.

As a Star Alliance member since June 2010, Aegean offers seamless connectivity with 25 partner airlines including Lufthansa, United, Air Canada, and Singapore Airlines. The airline is renowned for its award-winning service, having been named Best Regional Airline in Europe by Skytrax multiple times. Aegean operates alongside Olympic Air (which it acquired in 2013), providing comprehensive coverage of Greek domestic routes.

Aegean's fleet consists primarily of Airbus A320 family aircraft (A319, A320, A320neo, A321), known for fuel efficiency and passenger comfort. The airline is particularly valued for its extensive Greek island network, connecting Athens and Thessaloniki to popular destinations like Santorini, Mykonos, Rhodes, and Crete.
