Aegean Airlines hits new passenger record in 2017
Aegean Airlines Group carried 13.2m passengers in 2017, up 6% on 2016’s figure and a new record. The group said the new record had been achieved through better utilisation of its network, as the number of flights over the year had remained stable. Load factor for the group throughout 2017 was 83.2%, up from 77.4% in 2016. The main growth driver was international traffic, which rose 9% to 7.3m, while domestic routes carried 3% more passengers, at 5.9m. Athens was the focus of the group’s activities, with 10.3m passengers passing through the Greek capital, compared to 9.4m in 2016. “We concluded 2017 with positive results, achieving the main quantitative and qualitative targets that we had set out for the year,” Aegean MD, Dimitris Gerogiannis said. <br/>
