Aegean and London

The independent Greek airline Aegean, a Star Alliance member and now the country’s largest, has announced a revised London programme with the start of the winter operational season at the end of October.

New for the airline is a daily service between Gatwick and Athens.  The Heathrow operation is to be reduced from 24 outbounds to just 11.  However it intends to retain the Larnaca – Heathrow service which at one time it planned to move to Gatwick.

Founded in 1987, today Aegean is an all Airbus single class A320 series operator.  In 2011 a merger with Olympic Air (which also operates into Heathrow) was blocked by the EU on anti-competition grounds. www.aegeanair.com
