A few weeks ago, there was lots of talk that olympic would (dry) lease 5 aircrafts (Boeing 737's) before the summer season begins. Now, nothing has been said about this issue!

Isn't Olympic downsizing it's fleet? Didn't they just got rid of the 717?

On a side note, how is Olympic doing financially? Did they worked out all the EU troubles?

Since last week, OA operates a Hola Airlines B734 (EC-KBO).

Is it a wet lease or a dry lease?

Hello

OA operates a Hola Airlines B734 (EC-KBO).

How nice , I already thought it was a leased plane. I saw EC-KBO last Friday at Athens Eleftherios Venizelos airport when I left back home for Belgium.
I wasn't able to take a photograph of it because it stood at a dificult place to photograph (end of the first part of the B-dock).

BEst regards: Yannick

The main problem for Olympic Airlines at this point is that more aircrafts are about to leave its fleet! It's not just the 3 717's that left! The one and only leased A300-600R and 2 leased ATR42's are also going to leave very soon! Last summer olympic had a small fleet size of 41 aircrafts. The small fleet size however caused lots of problems especially more delays to its flights! This is one of the main reasons why Olympic Airlines has lost passengers over the years and this is one of the main reasons why Aegean Airlines has become a successful and profitable airline!
