Aegean Closes $94 Million Deal to Buy Olympic | Greece.GreekReporter.com Latest News from Greece
"Aegean Airlines and Marfin Investment Group (MIG) have agreed on the sale of 100% of Olympic Air to its rival, which will give them almost complete dominance over domestic air travel, almost two years after the European Commission blocked a merger on anti-competition grounds, and this deal, reported to be some $94 million, will face the same challenge."
So still subject to EC approval.
When Olympic flew to London I always travelled to Greece with Olympic. Since Aegean took over the Olympic slots at London, I have travelled with Aegean. No problems with either company. I like flying with a Greek airline as I feel as if I am in Greece on board! And (say it quietly!) you may find that the fares are cheaper than Easyjet!
