History
Aegean Airlines was founded as Aegean Aviation in
1987. It was originally a VIP/business air operation specialising in executive and air ambulance services. On
17 February 1992 it became the first airline to be issued with a Greek independent air operator's licence. After it was bought by
Vasilakis Group in
1994, Aegean Aviation commenced VIP flights from Athens all over the world with wholly owned
Learjet aircraft. The Aegean Airlines title was adopted with the start of scheduled passenger services at the end of May
1999. Its first commercial flights were from
Athens to
Heraklion,
Crete and
Thessaloniki,
Macedonia (Greece) Macedonia, with 2 brand new wholly owned
BAe 146/RJ100. During
2000 Aegean bought Air-Greece.
After an agreement in March
2001 to merge Aegean and Cronus Airlines, it operated for a while as Aegean Cronus Airlines until full integration.
