Olympic Airlines

Olympic Air is the largest Greek airline in terms of destinations served. Formerly known as Olympic Airlines, the airline was privatised to form Olympic Air and commenced operations on 29 September 2009. The airline is headquartered in Athens, with its main hub situated at Athens International Airport.
The new Olympic Air took over various properties of the former airline, including its name, corporate logo, landing rights and technical base. Olympic Air, however, did not employ any of its original staff, who all remained at Olympic Airlines.
