Overview
- AEGEAN, via Olympic Air, has received a new ATR 72-600 and placed a direct order for two more aircraft scheduled for delivery in December 2026.
- The purchases align with a broader plan for 14 aircraft arrivals between September 2025 and March 2027 that includes 11 Airbus A321neos.
- Olympic Air now operates 15 ATR turboprops comprising 12 ATR 72-600s and three ATR 42-600s on domestic and short international routes.
- AEGEAN frames the expansion as a sustainability and efficiency step, citing the ATR 72-600’s lower fuel burn, quieter operation, and short-runway capability.
- The group carried 16.3 million passengers in 2024, and its 2025 schedule spans 250 direct routes linking 162 destinations across Europe, the Middle East, and North Africa.
