Under the codeshare agreement, Aegean Airlines will also place its code on Emirates-operated flights between Dubai and Athens for their customers to benefit from smooth connections to Dubai and onward. Travel itineraries can now be booked on the airlines’ website, with travel agents as well as online travel agents, for travel immediately.

Starting October 2022, Emirates and Aegean will further increase their joint codeshare network to include eight more European regional routes via Athens, including Bucharest, Belgrade and Naples, among others, as well as westwards on Emirates’ flights to New York Newark from Athens, and New York JFK from Milan. The additional codeshare routes will be subject to receiving the necessary regulatory approvals.

Emirates currently serves Athens with 12 weekly flights operated by a Boeing 777.
