They have a rather extensive code-sharing agreement in place. Your flight is operated by Aegean.[/quote]
Thanks for the information! But I would have never imagined Volotea and Aegean codesharing on flights, since they are competitors! One is a LCC and the other one is a more traditional airline.
I will be flying into ATH later this month with Volotea. After taking a look at my travel agent's email it shows the flight as being operated by Aegean Airlines' A320. Is this a last minute lease?
Jump to postHas anybody noticed how much Air Europa Express shrank during the pandemic? They are now operating only 3xEmb195LR and 2xATR72/500 (another ATR72/500 EC-MSN, has been sitting on a remote stand minus engine no.1 for a couple of months already).
