Mainly, for our cabin crew and our people who feel in that way that they also support and contribute to the efforts of our athletes. The same honour equally applies to our passengers, who due to their preference, empower us to support Greek sports by facilitating their transport for more than 25 years.”

“Our wish to our athletes, is to enjoy the unique experience of the Olympic games and embrace it with their heart. Their participation is a lifetime accomplishment, and this great honour and joy belongs to them, their families and those that support them throughout the years,” Mr Vassilakis added.

“We are confident that once again, they will make us all proud and thus, remind us that hard work, dedication and passion are most valuable, not just for the result, but certainly for every day of their journey. You already have the best wishes of all of us in Greece to which you may add the AEGEAN family wishes.”
