Mr. Dimitris Gerogiannis, AEGEAN’s CEO, commented: “After two challenging years, it is a fact that revitalized demand, especially strong to Greece, supported traffic recovery. AEGEAN, following additional A320neo deliveries, invested by expanding its network from its main hub in Athens, but also from Thessaloniki, Heraklion and Chania, gradually increasing its capacity, flying to 138 destinations by the end of June.We managed to return to profitability in Q2 despite the significant increase in fuel costs well ahead Q3 which is always strongest in contribution of revenue and profitability for the year. This positive trend continued during the summer months, where we offered 98% of our pre-pandemic ASK’s and achieved Load factors of 84% and 3,2 mil. passengers in the two summer months July and August, supporting further our profitability forecast for FY 2022. We certainly still have challenges and uncertainties ahead of us. We continue to invest with a steady pace to improve our product quality and manage our network and fleet efficiently”.
