AEGEAN - Greece's largest airline - is to invest in an enhanced version of the Airbus A321neo, designed to cater specifically to non-EU markets, particularly those to the South and South-East of Greece.
This initiative involves the creation of a "special purpose" sub-fleet comprising four initially commissioned A321neo aircraft. These aircraft will be equipped with extended range capabilities through additional fuel tanks, enabling flights of up to 7.5 hours.
The cabin configuration will undergo a significant overhaul to enhance comfort for Business Class passengers, reducing the overall seat count from the standard 220 to fewer than 180 seats.
Enhanced features will include satellite connectivity, in-flight entertainment screens at every seat, and a premium lie-flat seat option for Business Class travellers.
AEGEAN plans to use these new aircraft to serve both existing and potential new non-EU destinations, with flight times ranging from approximately 4 to 7.5 hours. These destinations may include Gulf countries such as Riyadh, Jeddah, and Dubai, as well as potential new routes like Bahrain, Doha, Oman, Central African cities such as Lagos, Addis Ababa, Nairobi, and Asian destinations like Delhi, Mumbai, and Almaty.
The delivery of these upgraded aircraft is expected in 2026 and 2027. AEGEAN's network covers 180 destinations in 49 countries with 307 routes operated with 76 aircraft, following also 9 new Airbus 320/321 neo aircraft deliveries.
