Ariston Aviation Deepens Greece’s Luxury Travel Ties At ILTM Cannes 2025

Published on December 20, 2025

The luxurious travel exhibition where Ariston Aviation was present, the invitation-only ILTM Cannes 2025, proved beneficial for the company that not only highlighted Greece’s potential as a luxury, well-connected hub but also marked its own profile as a boutique aviation concierge. The Athens-based company at the exclusive fair demonstrated that personalized aviation and high-end mobility services are becoming an indispensable element of the process of promoting Greece’s aviation and tourism sector.

Held from December 1 to 4 at the iconic Palais des Festivals et des Congrès, the 24th edition of ILTM Cannes brought together the world’s most influential luxury travel advisors, premium hospitality brands and destination specialists. For Ariston Aviation, the event was not only about visibility, but about positioning Greece as a seamless gateway between Europe, the Eastern Mediterranean and the Middle East through refined, high-touch aviation solutions.

Luxury Aviation Meets Destination Storytelling

At the heart of Ariston Aviation’s participation was its role as a central aviation concierge operating from Athens International Airport. From this strategic hub, the company delivers round-the-clock support for private jet charters across Greece and Europe, helicopter transfers to island destinations, curated scenic flights and a full spectrum of VIP ground and sea services.

Industry interest at ILTM Cannes reflected a wider shift in luxury travel, where discerning clients increasingly expect journeys to be as fluid and personalised as their destinations. Ariston Aviation’s integrated approach bridging air, land and sea, resonated strongly with travel advisors seeking dependable partners for complex, multi-stop itineraries across Greece’s mainland and islands.

Boosting Greece’s Aviation Sector Through Premium Demand

Beyond brand exposure, Ariston Aviation’s presence at ILTM Cannes highlighted the tangible benefits luxury aviation brings to Greece’s broader aviation sector. Private jet traffic, helicopter movements and VIP transfers generate year-round demand, helping to balance the seasonality traditionally associated with Greek tourism.

By attracting high-net-worth travellers who value flexibility and discretion, boutique aviation services contribute to increased aircraft movements at regional airports, stimulate demand for specialised ground handling and support skilled aviation employment. The company’s emphasis on operational reliability and compliance further reinforces international confidence in Greece as a premium aviation destination.

End-to-End Mobility for High-End Travel

During the exhibition, Ariston Aviation showcased its end-to-end mobility offering designed for FIT travellers, VIPs and small groups. This includes private jet charters, helicopter transfers linking Athens with the Cyclades, Crete and the Ionian islands, as well as yacht charters, chauffeur-driven services and coordination with luxury hotels and private villas.

Such holistic mobility solutions are increasingly valued by luxury travel professionals who seek partners capable of managing the entire journey rather than isolated segments. By simplifying logistics and enhancing comfort, Ariston Aviation plays a key role in shaping Greece’s image as an effortless luxury destination.

Strengthening International Partnerships

The company’s leadership noted that ILTM Cannes continues to be a forum for meaningful dialogue and long-term relationship building. Ongoing conversations with established partners, alongside new introductions, reflected shared expectations around discretion, precision and bespoke service delivery.

There was also consistent feedback indicating that demand for coordinated aviation and VIP mobility is growing, particularly in destinations like Greece where geography, island connectivity and peak-season congestion require experienced operational oversight.

A Strategic Platform for the Mediterranean

ILTM Cannes provided Ariston Aviation with an international stage to promote Greece not just as a leisure destination, but as a sophisticated aviation hub at the crossroads of continents. Its proximity to Europe, North Africa and the Middle East positions the country as an ideal base for private aviation itineraries spanning multiple regions.

By aligning boutique aviation expertise with destination management capabilities, Ariston Aviation reinforces Greece’s competitiveness in the luxury travel market while contributing to the resilience and diversification of its aviation sector.

Looking Ahead: Elevating the Journey

As luxury travel continues to prioritise quality over quantity, companies like Ariston Aviation are shaping how Greece is experienced from the very first arrival. Through carefully curated aviation and mobility services, the company supports travellers in discovering the country’s islands, coastlines and cultural landmarks with ease and exclusivity.

By taking this approach, Ariston Aviation is not simply upgrading single trips but also contributing to the obtaining of Greece’s aviation industry for the future, one premium flight, seamless transfer and personalized experience at a time.
