Newcastle International Airport has announced its newest airline partner, AEGEAN. The airline will begin flying directly to its hub in Athens from Newcastle in 2023.
AEGEAN will appear on the airport’s arrivals and departure boards from 14 June until 17 September 2023, with direct flights to Athens twice a week – every Wednesday and Sunday.
The airline is Greece’s flagship carrier and has been named the ‘Best Regional Airline in Europe’ for 11 consecutive years at the Skytrax World Airline Awards.
Leon McQuaid, Director of Aviation Development at Newcastle International Airport, said:
“We are delighted to be announcing Greece’s flagship carrier, AEGEAN, which will offer even more choice to the region by offering direct services to Athens with onward connections within Greece and across Europe and the Middle East.
Greece is one of the North East’s most popular holiday destinations and there is a huge demand for direct services to Athens. This investment demonstrates great confidence in the North East’s largest airport and the region and we look forward to welcoming AEGEAN in 2023.”
AEGEAN’s ‘beyond’ service allows passengers to book partner and participating airline onward connections via AEGEAN.
For passengers seeking the luxury experience, the airline offers the opportunity to bid to upgrade Economy Class tickets to Business Class on eligible flights only.
