aa73,

Glad you like them, take your last look because they will be gone on October 1st!

The "New" Olympic Airlines, or the new name Olympic Air is taking over and all Long Haul routes will be gone, so are the Airbus 340s ..

oh yeah , new paint job aswell .. the company will have new Airbus 319s 320s, new dash q400s, Dash 8s 100s and ATR's ..

Bye bye Olympic ... another Legacy carrier gone down the drain.

For the life of me, I can't understand why the politicians are going to allow Olympic fade in the night... just not right. RIP

Good airline and good people.

Yes it is a very very sad story ... Onassis must be rolling in his grave. Since we talked about the livery, here is the new one .. I going to miss the old colors.

It was the Greek politicians that destroy Olympic.

Very sorry to hear about that, Olympic. Welcome to this crazy industry.

I must say, though.. the new colors are still quite nice.

good luck!
