Thursday, February 8, 2024

Celebrating a 15-year milestone of successful operations in the French market, AEGEAN, the premier Greek airline, continues its dedication to making travel between France and Greece more accessible. This commitment is demonstrated through the expansion of its operations across French airports and the introduction of new flight routes.

Since launching its inaugural Athens to Paris flight in 2008, AEGEAN has transported over 10.5 million passengers, offering them a taste of Greek hospitality the moment they step aboard. The airline’s comprehensive network ensures seamless connectivity between major French cities like Paris, Nice, Lyon, Bordeaux, Marseille, Nantes, and Toulouse to Greek destinations such as Athens and Heraklion. Additional routes include flights from Brest and Deauville to Heraklion, and from Paris to Thessaloniki. In 2023 alone, AEGEAN became the chosen carrier for over 750,000 travelers navigating between these two countries.

Travelers departing from Paris have the pleasure of exploring renowned Greek locales including Athens, Heraklion, and Thessaloniki, with Athens, Heraklion, Rhodes, Thessaloniki, and Kos ranking as the top five destinations. The enchanting islands of Santorini, Paros, Mykonos, and Corfu are also favored choices among tourists. Conversely, Greek travelers show a preference for French cities such as Paris, Nice, Lyon, and Marseille. Peak travel periods to Greece occur in May and August, appealing to both solo adventurers and families alike. While online bookings dominate, a considerable number of travelers still opt for the personalized touch offered by travel agencies and tour operators.

AEGEAN is celebrated for delivering an unparalleled travel experience, highlighted by exclusive services like complimentary Wi-Fi for all passengers, a gourmet in-flight dining experience crafted by Greece’s most esteemed chefs, and a variety of online services to enhance the overall passenger experience.

The traffic of passengers between these two nations has consistently increased over the years, with AEGEAN solidifying its presence in the French market through continuous investment and dedication to excellence.
