Aegean Adds New UK Routes to its Summer 2015 Schedule

Airline News

By Steve Sims |

AEGEAN is to launch a new direct service from UK to Heraklion, Crete and Larnaca, Cyprus. The flights to Heraklion will take off from Gatwick airport starting on June 21st, 2015, while the services to Larnaca will depart starting with March 29th, 2015, from Heathrow airport.


AEGEAN, a Star Alliance member and Greece's largest airline, will also restart its summer flights to Athens from Birmingham and make an "all year" round service out of the once seasonal flights from Manchester to Athens.

The services will be made by one of Europe's youngest fleets, consisting of 56 aircraft, after AEGEAN recently purchased new Airbus A320ceos.

The company's new schedule reveals it now has 134 destinations, out of which 100 are international, in 42 countries, and 34 are domestic. This means now 15 million seats will be available, two million more than in 2014.

AEGEAN offers both business class and economy travel from its new UK to Heraklion and Larnaca from Gatwick and Heathrow respectively. AEGEAN customers will receive complimentary food and drinks on board, so their holiday will start as soon as they step on board.

AEGEAN received the Best European regional airline 5 times in the last 6 years from Skytrax, being recognized for its award winning in-flight experience.

As soon as passengers step on board of an AEGEAN aircraft, they are greeted and serviced with gourmet Greek food and fine wines handpicked by the company's own Master of Wine.
