Did Olympic Airways actually ever start transatlantic services from Manchester?

If o, for how long and where to?

Per KA501's reply, they didn't start - the small matter of no ETOPs for their A300s being a contributory factor plus also USA wouldn't allow them to extend their operations due to some regulatory oversight - hence instead of a 2 weekly ATH-MAN-BOS A300 service we ended up with a 2 weekly ATH-MAN 737 service.

Olympic DID have 747s into Boston in the late 1990s, IIRC. Were those strictly Athens-Boston routes???

They must have been - OA and PK had to wait for around a year to gain 5th freedom approval from MAN and this was at the beginning of this decade.

In addition to plain ATH-BOS they also tried other combinations for BOS including ORD and JFK at various points in time. After the 747s were gone they used their 340s on the route.

Reckon there;s any chance of them returning to do a ATH MAN BOS?
