About Aegean Airlines
Aegean Airlines (IATA: A3) is Greece's largest airline and the country's flag carrier in all but name, headquartered in Athens and operating from its primary hub at Athens International Airport (ATH), with a secondary base at Thessaloniki. Founded in 1987 and relaunched in its current form in 1999, Aegean has grown into one of Europe's most awarded regional carriers, known for its modern all-Airbus A320-family fleet and consistently high service ratings.
Aegean joined Star Alliance in 2010, becoming the alliance's Greek member and extending its network reach to 25+ partner airlines worldwide. The airline, together with its regional subsidiary Olympic Air, operates an extensive network connecting Athens and Thessaloniki to major European cities and virtually every inhabited Greek island. FareOptic compares Aegean fares across Europe and the Greek islands so you always find the lowest A3 ticket price for your journey.
