Aegean Airlines (A3, Athens) has introduced a large number of new routes following cutbacks by rival Olympic Air (OA/Athens) after the proposed merger of the two carriers had been blocked by the European Union considering it anticompetitive: Athens-Bologna Marconi: 3x weekly A320-200 service has started on March 29 Athens-Moscow Domodedovo: 4x weekly A320-200 service has started on April 29 Athens-Vienna: daily A320-200 service resuming on September 12 Heraklion-Athens-Milan Malpensa: 4x weekly A320-200 service has started on March 27 Heraklion-Athens-Rome Fiumicino: 3x weekly A320-200 service has started on March 29 Larnaca-Chania: weekly seasonal A320-200 between June 29 and August 31 Larnaca-Heraklion: 3x weekly A320-200 service has started on March 28 Larnaca-Kos: weekly seasonal A320-200 service between July 19 and August 31 Larnaca-London Heathrow: daily A320-200 service has started on March 27 Larnaca-Mykonos: 2x weekly seasonal A320-200 service between June 25 and September 10 Larnaca-Paris CDG: 3x weekly A320-200 service has started on June 9 Larnaca-Rhodes: 2x weekly seasonal A320-200 service between June 24 and September 4 Larnaca-Santorini: weekly seasonal A320-200 service between June 28 and September 6 Thessaloniki-Moscow Domodedovo: 6x weekly A320-200 service has started on April 29 Thessaloniki-Paris CDG: 3x weekly seasonal A320-200 between June 2 and September 30 To make this expansion possible, Aegean has added an ex-Air Berlin (AB/Berlin Tegel) A319-100, leased two A319-100s and four A320-200s from Olympic Air and sourced three A320-200s from Air VIA (VL/Sofia), Amsterdam Airlines (WD/Amsterdam) and SmartLynx (6Y/Riga) on wet-lease contracts. It mainly uses the wet-leased A320-200s on its charter services. Aegean Airlines has however given up its Athens-Cairo route on March 14 as a result of low demand in the aftermath of the revolution in Egypt. Aegean Airlines has applied for approval to start codesharing with US Airways (US/Charlotte) on US flights between Greece and the United States and for connections beyond Athens and Philadelphia.
