Aegean Airlines

Both the government and the private sector, including companies such as Aegean Airlines, aim to open the Indian market to Greek tourism in the new year.

This is a dynamically developing market, whose middle and income earners are expanding at a dynamic pace, creating opportunities for diversifying the markets to which Greek tourism is addressed, as well as boosting travel revenues.

The benchmark of the Greek bourse has risen to highs unseen since September 26 after notching up fresh gains on Friday. Industrial and energy stocks drove the market higher on a day of gains for the vast majority of stocks, albeit with the lowest turnover of the last 12 sessions. Sunday's government announcements in Parliament will largely shape next week's trading landscape.

Aegean Airlines is strengthening its routes as of 2025, offering two new destinations abroad and seven new direct domestic flights from regional hubs.

On Monday it announced it will connect Athens with Iraq with direct flights to Erbil, starting on February 23 and operating twice a week, every Wednesday and Sunday.

Twice-weekly direct flights to Iraq and Azerbaijan are among the new destinations that Aegean Airlines will offer in 2025, the company has said.

The flight to Erbil International Airport in Kurdistan Region, Iraq, will commence on February 23 and will operate every Wednesday and Sunday, while the Athens to Azerbaijan route will open on April 14 and fly every Wednesday and Sunday.

Blue chips gained some more ground on Tuesday after the significant rise recorded on Monday, though the start of the session at Athinon Avenue had pointed to another day of major growth for prices, and the mid-cap index ended the day virtually unchanged. The majority of stocks finished the session in the red, but turnover showed some further growth.

A significant meeting is on the agenda for the Greek economy, banks, the Stock Exchange, and major listed companies with the world’s 100 most powerful funds, managing assets worth approximately $30 trillion.

– Greetings,

The Greek bourse's benchmark came off Tuesday's three-and-a-half-month lows on Wednesday to show a significant rebound, even if that was on the lowest turnover of the last nine sessions. The day's gains snapped a five-day losing streak, led by non-banking stocks.

Aegean Airlines last week launched new direct flights between Thessaloniki and Amsterdam, further expanding the company's international network from its hub at Thessaloniki's Makedonia Airport.
