Enjoy innovative and pioneering services and privileges – such as those you will receive as part of our frequent flyer program, the Travelair Club – and experience first-hand our famous Greek hospitality, combined with a passion to offer you a journey that soars even higher than your own expectations.

Air travel no longer needs to be the dark cloud over an otherwise sunny trip – let Olympic Air refresh you and remind you that all along, you deserved more.

Olympic Air launched scheduled operations in September 2009, carrying over the historic name and logo of formerly state-owned ‘Olympic Airlines’, embodying a dynamic, modern approach to the company’s management and operation.

Olympic Air boasts one of the youngest fleets in Europe, comprised of eight Airbus Α320s and Α319s, 10 Bombardier-De Havilland DHC8-Q400s, and five Bombardier-De Havilland DHC8-100s. Total fleet investment, coupled with new, innovative technologies and services, heralds Olympic Air’s commitment to re-establish a brand that has become synonymous with safety and quality, to the forefront of the European airline industry.

Finally, in March 2011 Olympic Air announced a strategic partnership with Cyprus Airways, aiming to strengthen the presence of the two airlines in the wider region of Southeastern Europe by offering mutual code-shared flights to passengers of both companies.
