The Greek Way: SkyGreece To Launch Athens-New York Route As Of June 2014

“The creation of the new airline SkyGreece was a reaction by us Greeks living abroad,” the carrier’s founder and chairman, Father Nicholas Alexandris, said on 4 February in Athens.

SkyGreece should begin direct flights from Athens to New York City in June 2014.

Moreover, three flights a week will be scheduled from Athens to Montreal and Toronto while future plans include the launch of flights to Chicago and South Africa.

According to Father Nicholas, Greeks flying on SkyGreece will feel right at home as everything will be Greek: the cabin crew, the food, the inflight entertainment and of course the pilots.

“Our staff will include former Olympic Airways’ pilots that have 18,000 hours of flying on their backs, while passengers onboard will be able to read Greek newspapers and listen to Greek music, including Byzantine hymns,” he said.

Father Nicholas Alexandris is a priest at St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church in Toronto, Canada. He is also a licensed pilot, and has studied airline management and European Air Law.
