Aegean has promoted Dubai as a year-round destination, highlighting its distinctive architecture, international dining scene, major tourist attractions and cultural experiences.
The airline, Greece’s largest carrier, is based in Athens and operates an extensive international network connecting destinations across Europe, the Middle East and North Africa.
Aegean also has a codeshare agreement with Emirates, allowing passengers to book connecting journeys across the two airlines’ networks.
The partnership, established in August 2022, provides Emirates customers with access to destinations across Greece through Athens, while Aegean passengers can connect to Dubai and other destinations served by Emirates.
