SKY express has won the honorary distinctions of the "Fastest Growing Airline in the Domestic Market", the "Fastest Growing Airline in Western Europe", and the "Overall Traffic Performance Award for 2023" at the 2.3 Airline Marketing Workshop organized by the Athens International Airport

New distinctions for SKY express! After being recognized as an international case study by Google, being named the European company with the significant increase in terms of flight work by Eurocontrol and, of course, the two recent top European distinctions at the ERA Awards, three more honorary distinctions awarded from the largest airport in Greece, take the company even higher!

SKY express, the only double-award-winning Greek airline in Europe for its continuous excellence and innovation, continues to be distinguished and rewarded. At the 2.3 Airline Marketing Workshop "Let's make the right move" organized on Thursday, 14th of March 2024 at the Zappeion Megaron by the Athens International Airport, in a climate of joy, emotion and pride, SKY express received three new important distinctions. More specifically:

  • Honorary Distinction as the Fastest Growing Airline in the Domestic Market
  • Honorary Distinction as the Fastest Growing Airline in the Western European market
  • Honorary Distinction for the Overall Traffic Performance Award for 2023

SKY express " taxied" in difficult times and quickly emerged as a business and national success story. The company has smartly invested in the future, strengthened its presence in Europe, and is vindicated by its dynamic international course, industry recognition, and impressive passenger response. It is no coincidence that in 2023, the number of its passengers quadrupled, reaching almost 4.5 million, while the increase in its share reached +12.5%.

SKY express continued dynamically, responsibly, and relentlessly striving for the best. Thanks to innovative products and services, the Greek airline was further developed and consolidated in the market and in passengers' choices, offering premium experiences throughout the travel experience cycle perfectly tailored to passengers' needs.

BLISS, the Business Class of SKY express, the design of which is based on a sustainable proposal and has been embraced from the very first moment by the European and Greek passengers: priority at every stage of the journey, access to VIP lounges, free additional luggage, entertainment, deli menu, pre-order service are some of the "ingredients" of this sophisticated experience.

Starting from Greece, SKY express has spread its wings and flies higher every day in the Greek and European skies. Faithful to its commitment to reduce the environmental footprint of its flight work, it increases and renews its fleet with careful aircraft and engine choices. It is worth noting that in 2024 the company's fleet will number 27 aircraft flying around the world.
