Aegean
Airlines achieved a remarkable success at the 2012 World
Airline Awards,
with air travellers again
voting Aegean Airlines as Best Regional Airline in Europe.
The
Survey, conducted by global aviation research organization SKYTRAX,
polled over 18 million business and leisure air travellers from
100 countries, with the winners of these passenger's
choice awards announced at the Farnborough Airshow, UK on
12th July 2012.
"For
the third time in four years, Aegean Airlines customers have ensured
that the airline achieves its deserved recognition by winning
the award for
the Best Regional Airline in Europe. This repeat result is an
excellent achievement and Aegean Airlines should be proud of this
customer recognition of quality consistency. Aegean Airlines
continues to be a favourite amongst passengers and it is very
noteworthy that it has also maintained its place in the top-25 global
airlines," said Edward Plaisted, CEO of SKYTRAX.
Dimitris
Gerogiannis, CEO of Aegean Airlines stated: “It is the third time
in a span of four years that passengers have honored us with
the award for Best Regional Airline in Europe. The
consistency and repetition of this award is the best
recognition of the high
standards greek tourism can provide especially
during these times and that is something that fills us with pride. I
would like to thank everyone at Aegean for their everyday efforts and
of course our passengers for their continued trust and support. It is
more important than ever to prove that Greece, its companies and its
peopledeserve such awards."

surveyed by telephone,
questionnaires and online about their experiences with airlines on
the ground and in the air during a 10-month period. The survey
measured passenger satisfaction across more than 38 key
performance indicators of
airline front-line product and service, including check-in, boarding,
onboard seat comfort, cabin cleanliness, food, beverages, in-flight
entertainment and staff service. The Survey covered 246 airlines,
