From the 1st of August, SKY express brings London, one of the most popular choices of travelers from all over the world, even closer to Athens with direct flights every day except Saturday.
The new route will be served by the state-of-the-art “green” fleet Airbus A320neo connecting Heathrow Airport with Athens International Airport at affordable and highly competitive fares and personalized digital services.
After Larnaca, Brussels, Paris, Rome, Hamburg, etc. London’s integration into the network of the fastest growing Greek airline significantly strengthens its presence in the leading European cities. At the same time, covering 48 destinations in 9 countries and with the prospect of expanding its flight program, SKY express is now active with claims in the field of aviation internationally.
SKY express Sales Manager, Anna Katsaneva, said: “Today SKY express is launching its connection with one of the largest metropolises in the world. London is the newest international destination and England is the eighth country with which we build bridges. Our course lately fills us with deep satisfaction as it is based on solid foundations and commitment to the strategy that has brought us to the market, but most importantly to the preferences of the public “.
With the arrival of the SKY express aircraft at Heathrow Airport CEO John Holland-Kaye said: “It is great news for us that SKY express will operate flights from Heathrow. This shows growing interest from new airlines to the UK’s hub airport. We hope that an extension of the green list by the government to low-risk destinations such as Greece will ensure that passengers can make the most of these new services.”
Travelers from London have the opportunity through Athens to continue their journey on the largest domestic network (35 destinations) with SKY express, choosing between fares between SKY joy, SKY joy + and SKY enjoy. At the same time, passengers of the Athens-London route enjoy a special travel experience with free service, premium branded products, but also the new Drinks & Bites in flight service.
