New International Routes added to Winter Schedule - 

Aegean Airlines’ winter schedule will be expanded with the addition of new direct flights to various international destinations from Athens and Thessaloniki, including Abu Dhabi and Gran Canaria from Athens, and Amsterdam from Thessaloniki.

Starting from October, Aegean will operate three weekly flights between Athens International Airport and Abu Dhabi's Zayed International Airport on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays. This is the airline's second destination in the United Arab Emirates after Dubai was launched last year.

In February 2025, the carrier will fly twice a week from Athens to Las Palmas in Gran Canaria every Monday and Thursday. This service demonstrates Aegean’s preparedness for long-haul routes which could be operated with seven-and-a-half-hour flight time-capable four Airbus A321neo LR aircraft due to join the fleet in 2026-2027.

Additionally, Aegean is expanding its presence at Thessaloniki by introducing services to Amsterdam; up to three times a week flights are available from Makedonia Airport (SKG) starting October 28. Tickets for all new routes can be booked via company website or travel agencies.
