Olympic Airlines is a former Greek carrier that does not operate scheduled passenger services today; from a traveler’s perspective it is not a bookable airline. Its operations were centered on serving Greece from Athens with domestic island flights and regional European services, but those routes are now served by other, currently operating carriers and charter operators.

Frequent Flyer - Olympic Airlines

Olympic does not operate an active frequent-flyer program that can be used to earn or redeem miles on current travel. Travelers with historic balances or status should contact the airline entity that replaced its services or the travel agent that issued the ticket for guidance on any legacy benefits or compensation. For earning miles and status now, choose a currently operating airline that participates in a frequent-flyer program or an airline alliance.

Where Olympic Airlines Flies

Olympic no longer operates an active route network. When it did fly, its operations were centered on Athens Eleftherios Venizelos (ATH) and focused on domestic Greek services-especially island hops-and regional connections across Europe from that hub. Because the airline is not operating, there is no current codeshare or alliance reach to rely on for bookings or connections.

Hubs

Aircraft and Cabin Classes

Olympic operated a historically mixed fleet that included older piston and early jet types as well as classic jet airliners. Types flown over its history included Douglas piston and propliner models, the de Havilland Comet, NAMC YS-11 turboprops, and several generations of Boeing jets such as early narrowbodies and larger widebodies. Cabin offerings evolved over time; in later years passengers could expect a standard economy cabin and a business-class offering on some international services, but there was not a consistent modern premium-economy or first-class product across the network.

Aircraft types operated: Douglas DC-3, Douglas DC-4, Douglas DC-6, De Havilland Comet, NAMC YS-11, Boeing 707, Boeing 720, Boeing 727-100, Boeing 727-200, Boeing 747-200

Tips for Flying Olympic Airlines

  • Olympic Airlines no longer operates scheduled passenger flights, so you cannot book travel on it; search for currently operating Greek carriers or charter operators for equivalent routes.
  • If you hold an old Olympic-branded ticket or voucher, contact your travel agent, the issuing airline that now serves the route, or your payment provider to pursue refunds, rebooking, or chargebacks.
  • For travel to Greek islands from Athens (ATH), compare multiple carriers and check baggage rules and minimum connection times carefully, especially during the summer peak season.
  • If you need to earn or redeem miles, choose a currently operating airline that participates in a frequent-flyer program or an alliance, because Olympic does not have an active program to credit new flights.
