- From 1 June, it will fly to the Spanish capital two days a week with its Dreamliner fleet
- The Madrid hub connects to 33 other national and European destinations
Athens, 3 June 2022. Air Europa approaches the summer with the resumption of its route between Athens and Madrid, operated with its Boeing 787 Dreamliner fleet, which has outstanding environmental credentials, reducing fuel consumption and emissions by 20%, and guarantees maximum comfort for passengers.
From 1 June until the end of October, the airline will reconnect the Greek capital with the Adolfo Suárez Madrid-Barajas Airport hub two days a week, on Wednesdays and Sundays. In this period, it will be offering customers more than 28,000 seats, exceeding the route’s capacity before the pandemic. From the Madrid hub, Air Europa connects to 33 other national and European destinations, and to 20 in the USA and Latin America.
Flights will take off from Madrid at 1.00 pm and land in Athens at 5.15 pm. The return flight will depart from the Greek capital at 6.30 pm and land in Madrid at 9.20 pm.
The Dreamliner fleet, with which the airline will operate all flights on this route, is the most efficient and silent in the sector, as the acoustic impact of its aircraft is 60% lower than that of other aircraft of similar size, and has a selection of top quality products and services on board so that passengers can enjoy a unique flight experience.
With a view to meeting all the needs of its customers, Air Europa allows them to tailor their flight options with specially adapted menus, customised Wi-Fi plans, extra luggage allowances and priority boarding, as well as offering them an extensive, varied selection of on-board entertainment, including over 100 films, documentaries and TV series, games, audiobooks and podcasts.
Air Europa will also resume its route from Madrid to Alghero during the high season this year. With these two routes, it is expanding its network of European destinations and contributing to the expansion plans announced and initiated by the company last April, which will enable it to exceed the number of seats and the occupancy levels for 2019 on its traditional routes in the second half of the year.
