Aegean Airlines is a Greek airline company that operates flights in the Mediterranean basin. Founded in 1987 under the name of Aegean Aviation, this airline operated its first flight in 1992. It specializes, naturally, on flights to and from Greece, the Cyclades, and Crete.
Aegean Airlines was the first private airline to operate in Greece. The first flights operated from Athens to Heraklion and Thessaloniki. The next destinations were Rhodes and Chania. Adding destinations one by one, this small Greek airline has grown to service around 25 cities. The company bought Air Greece and with the acquisition of seven more aircraft, the fleet grew as well as the number of services flights per day.
In 2001, Aegean joined forces with Cronus Airlines which led them to include in their route network seven international destinations. This same year the business class was added to Aegean aircraft, creating a more elite and selective flying class. Today Aegean has signed several code-share agreements, notably with Brussels Airlines and bmi, a subsidiary of Lufthansa. The company has also received an ISO 14001 certification for environmental protection.
