ATHENS – Sky Express and Delta Air Lines on Thursday announced the launch of their cooperation to help international passengers flying to Greece on Delta Air Lines have easier access to a series of domestic destinations within the country.

As of Thursday, passengers on Delta’s daily flights to Athens from North America will be able to continue their journey to the destination of their choice in the network operated by Sky Express.

The agreement with Delta is one of a series of strategic agreements with major international carriers, such as Air France, KLM, Qatar Airways, American Airlines, Condor, El Al, Middle East Airlines, Transavia and Emirates, which help promote the Greek tourist product.

It is based on a combination of the newest and greenest fleet with an unbeatable network that will allow visitors from the US to enjoy the magical charm of our country.”
