A year after its merger with Olympic Air, Aegean Airlines is investing € 300 million for the purchase of seven brand new Airbus A320ceo (current engine option) for the period 2015-2016. The Greek airline company also plans a radical renewal of its fleet through an international tender, with priority to be given to aircraft bought in 2007.

Olympic Air and Aegean Airlines covered a network of 120 destinations in 33 countries with 13 million available seats, 1.2 million more compared with the period before the merger. Eftihis Vasilakis, VP of Aegean, said the aim was to raise its fleet to 70 aircraft in 2023, covering 350 destinations with passenger traffic of 14-15 million. He added that Aegean Airlines currently owns a fleet of 50 aircraft, with a workforce of 2,400, two technical hangars and with passenger traffic of 9.8 million.

For the 4th year in a row, Aegean Airlines was designated as the Best Regional Airline in Europe by more than 18 million passengers among more than 245 airlines worldwide.
