The implementation of this business expansion is a significant investment move of the company, while the concomitant expansion of its fleet has led to the number of the available aircraft to have doubled compared to the previous year.

The Ellinair flight program includes direct flights to numerous Russian cities from Thessaloniki, Athens, Corfu, Zakynthos and Heraklion and direct flights to several cities in Ukraine from Thessaloniki, Corfu and Heraklion. Heraklion will be connected directly to both Bucharest and Belgrade. Riga of Latvia will be connected directly to both Thessaloniki and Corfu.
