AEGEAN Airlines, through its regional subsidiary Olympic Air, has added a brand-new ATR 72-600 to its fleet.
Alongside the delivery, AEGEAN has placed a direct order for two additional ATR 72-600s. These aircraft are scheduled to join the fleet in December 2026. The move highlights AEGEAN’s continued confidence in ATR’s aircraft and demonstrates a clear commitment to modernisation and sustainable growth.
Olympic Air currently operates 15 ATR aircraft. The fleet is made up of 12 ATR 72-600s and three ATR 42-600s. These turboprops serve an extensive network of domestic routes across Greece as well as selected short international connections. The ATR 72-600 is valued for its fuel efficiency, reliability, and ability to operate on shorter runways, which is crucial for Greece’s many island airports.
In 2024, AEGEAN and Olympic Air together carried 16.3 million passengers. A total of 19.7 million seats were offered across 47 countries. For 2025, the network covers 250 direct routes, including 55 within Greece and 195 international links. Altogether, the group will connect 162 destinations across Europe, the Middle East, and North Africa. Its fleet now stands at 85 aircraft.
Looking ahead, AEGEAN plans further growth and renewal. Between September 2025 and March 2027, the group expects delivery of 14 new aircraft. This includes 11 Airbus A321neos and three additional ATR 72-600s. The new arrivals will reinforce AEGEAN’s position as Greece’s leading carrier and expand its role within regional and international markets.
With this investment, AEGEAN underlines its ambition to strengthen connectivity, improve efficiency, and enhance passenger choice while maintaining a focus on sustainability and modern technology.
