In 2026, the carrier will extend its long-haul operations with new A321neos that have a 7,500km range, allowing AEGEAN to target India and the Middle East. The aircraft will include a new business class product, with reclining seats and personal IFE screens.
CHECK-IN The carrier's check-in is located at counters 102-108, with priority lanes for business class passengers of AEGEAN, or subsidiary Olympic Air, plus Star Alliance Miles+Bonus Gold members.
You'll need your gate information to go through Departures as passengers are funnelled through separate A, B or C departures. There was a fast track lane at Gate A, but it had just one agent versus multiple/digital lanes for regular passengers so it was no quicker.
LOUNGE AEGEAN's new lounge opened in 2022, and still has a freshly painted feel. Smart dark-blue curved walls and digital screens offer a calming, futuristic feel, while large windows overlook the airfield.
