Aegean Airlines is a relatively young airline and can trace its beginnings back to a company called Aegean Aviation, an air-taxi operator and the first private airline to be awarded an air operator's licence in Greece. Following new ownership and a rebrand, Aegean Airlines acquired aircraft with the intention of offering passenger services locally and regionally. From small beginnings, it has evolved to become the largest airline in Greece in terms of destinations serviced, passenger numbers and airliners owned and operated. So great has been its success that Aegean had the resilience to survive Greece's economic woes, unlike the troubled state-owned flag carrier, which went out of business in 2008. Awarded for its excellence, and highly regarded for its fleet of young aircraft, Aegean now serves a broader market, carrying passengers to North Africa, the Middle East, across Europe and throughout the Greek islands.

Today the company has a fleet of 59 narrow-body short- and medium-haul aircraft and business jets offering VIP service. This book charts the rise of the company and reviews its fleet acquisition and renewal from its early days up to the present. The company's ethos, business practice and operational capacity are reviewed.
