Greek airline to join Star Alliance

AEGEAN AIRLINES, Greece’s largest airline in terms of passenger numbers and based in Athens, has had its membership application for the ever-expanding Star Alliance officially accepted.  The integration will take about 12 months.  Publicly listed Aegean Airlines began services some ten years ago and now operates a fleet of 31 aircraft covering a total of 47 domestic and international routes on 200 daily flights.  Specifically 23 routes in Greece are covered, as well as a further 24 international destinations including Manchester and Stansted.  In 2008 Aegean carried six million passengers, an increase of 14% over the previous year. www.aegeanair.com
