New Greek airline launches SA service

The Cargo Connection has added a new cargo airline to its GSA portfolio – the new Greek Airline Hellenic Imperial Airways. The airline, which started its schedule this month, will offer three weekly flights to Athens for the duration of the World Cup. They will then revert to two a week, deploying a B747 full passenger aircraft. During July they will start flying Athens-New York City to be followed by London Gatwick and Charles de Gaulle in Paris. “This fills the gap that Olympic left after its sale/restructuring and privatisation,” said TCC managing director Gerd von Mansberg.
