New Stansted-Athens flights announced
Aegean Airlines has announced that it is to begin new flights to Athens from Stansted Airport later this year.
The twice-daily non-stop services will begin on May 15th and will be operated by new Airbus A321 aircraft, seating 195 passengers across two classes - economy and business class.
Flights will take off from London at 10:20 and 20:00 BST and from Athens at 07:30 and 17:10 local time.
Aegean Airlines commercial director Stavros Dalikas said the route is one of the most important ones for the carrier.
"Greece has always been a very popular, year-round holiday destination for the British and there has been a steady increase in the business sector in recent years," he commented.
Athens has a population of almost 3.2 million people and boasts attractions such as the Acropolis, the National Archaeological Museum and the annual Athens and Epidaurus festivals, among others.
