SKY express posted impressive figures in the second quarter of 2026 as well, recording growth across all key operating indicators. During the April–June period, international passenger traffic rose by 29.7% and scheduled flights revenue increased by 16.7%, compared to the same period in 2025. Total passenger traffic (excluding Public Service Obligation – PSO flights) grew by 12.3%, while the total number of flights increased by 8.6%.
Strong momentum from international markets
This momentum reflects the company's systematic effort to attract travellers from new international markets, through an expanded network of partnerships and a targeted presence in key destinations. SKY express's international network currently comprises 27 destinations, with new additions expected in the near future.
At the same time, the company's total number of flights (also excluding PSO flights) grew by 8.6%, driven by a steady increase in frequency across a number of existing routes.
This growth comes despite the pressure on international fuel prices arising from geopolitical developments. SKY express continues to honour its commitment not to pass this energy-related burden on to the passenger, keeping its ticket prices stable.
SKY express enters the third quarter of 2026, the most demanding peak period for Greek tourism, building on continued demand from both the domestic and international markets. At the same time, the company continues to invest in its fleet, network and workforce, aiming to translate this growth into tangible benefits for the passenger: more options, better service and consistent reliability.
Commenting on the results, Mr. Gerasimos Skaltsas, Chief Commercial Officer of SKY express, stated: “The second quarter of 2026 was marked by intense challenges for the aviation industry, with heightened geopolitical uncertainty and pressure on operating costs. Within this environment, SKY express recorded strong growth across all of its key indicators, confirming the strength and consistency of our strategy. These results are the fruit of continuous effort, discipline and steady investment that we deliver with consistency. The significant increase in international passenger traffic confirms that SKY express has become the first choice for an ever-growing number of international travellers choosing to discover Greece. We continue in the same direction, steadily strengthening SKY express's position and creating even greater value for our passengers.”
