Skygreece Airlines (Athens) will start year-round flights from Greece to Canada with effect from Summer this year. Having recently secured Canadian route authority, the carrier said it would begin 3x weekly flights from Athens to Toronto Pearson beginning May 17 while a weekly service from Thessaloniki would begin on May 20. It will also offer a weekly departure from Athens to Montréal Trudeau starting May 23, 2015.

"We have listened to the continuous demand of the Greek community in Canada and in Greece and decided to develop our flight schedule to meet the demand," it said.

Owing to seasonality, flights from Athens will slow to 2x weekly between November and April 2016.

As previously reported by ch-aviation, the Greek carrier will also offer a seasonal Zagreb Franjo Tuđman, Croatia, to Toronto service starting June 22.

All flights operate on-board a B767-300(ER), a second of which is due to arrive shortly.
