Aegean Airlines to launch India flights with A321LRs from 2027

Aegean Airlines will take delivery of its first Airbus A321LRs in October 2027 to begin long-haul routes to India, with further expansion planned to Africa and Central Asia. This marks a strategic shift for the Greek carrier, which has historically focused on regional European and Mediterranean routes. The move signals confidence in post-pandemic long-haul demand and could alter competitive dynamics on routes to the Indian subcontinent.
