For travellers all around the world, the word "Olympic" brings to mind many memories and dreams. But for all Greeks, it will always bring to mind the first Greek airline. The first airline that opened the world's skies to all Greeks, becoming synonymous with safety and serving as a point of reference and pride for generations and generations - bringing her historic logo of six linked rings to all corners of the world.
On October 1st, the new Olympic enters a new era, spreading its wings and embarking on new voyages. It has been renamed Olympic Air and in the hands of Marfin Investment Group (MIG), the largest business group in Southeastern Europe, active in the fields of transport, tourism, food, healthcare and IT, with more than 56,000 employees and a client base that exceeds 20 million people in 40 countries, it is ready to once again fly high in the world's skies.
The new Olympic Air will be more modern than ever and have a new vision, a new vigor, a new concept - with brand new cutting-edge aircraft, with innovative and pioneering services, with traditional Greek hospitality, and a renewed passion to offer even more.
In addition to this new momentum, leading technology, innovation, and pioneering, the new Olympic Air will boast one of the youngest fleets of aircraft in Europe, consisting of Airbus A319/A320s and Bombardier Dash 8s. Overall, our investment in the fleet is expected to exceed $1.7 billion.
MIG, as the largest business group in Southeastern Europe, has and will continue to offer its full support to Olympic Air in order to achieve Olympic Air's objectives. MIG's international networks and know-how will support Olympic Air's endeavors globally.
