The supply of four Airbus A321 neo LR from Aegean, which will allow for flights lasting up to 7.5 hours, will also help boost the connectivity of the Eleftherios Venizelos airport with new major markets, such as Asia, the managing director of Athens International Airport, Yannis Paraschisas, stated during last week's annual general meeting.
