We had high hopes for sea plane services in many parts of Greece.
Since the demise of AirSeaLines last year we have only Argos Airways trying hard to provide a service from Volos to Thessaloniki and to Skiathos.
Greece is ripe for sea planes – come on down contenders !
But those creating sea plane services in Greece need a titanium clad business resolve to thrive in the country\’s anti-progress and oft corrupt socio-political climate. At least great resolve and a strong stomach to wade through the maze of incompetent administrative bodies sucha project involves.
Olympic Airlines will be bought by Marfin Investment Group (MIG)
After years of nearly, almost, maybe, maybe not, attempts to sell ailing Olympic Airlines the winning buyer is Marfin Investment Group (MIG) – a financial powerhouse.
Marfin will be the new owner of the legendary airline once owned by Aristotle Onassis and later left to wither in the hands of the Greek state and its sour, dowdy employees.
Marfin will turn this into a dynamic entity – an airline fit to fly again.
Everyone can now look forward to boarding an Olympic flight with smiles – both on the faces of passengers, and hard though it is to imagine, the fine faces of future (or re-programmed ? ) Olympic employees.
Bravo Mr Vgenopoulos and good luck. Make this bird fly high.
