OA: Drops Routes, starts new ones, blames the EU.

Olympic Airways are in a bit of a pickle after the European Union comptetion commision denied them a merger with Aegean Airlines. Whilst Olympic and Aegean are going to appeal, the troubles are now manfesting in route cuts from:
  • Brussels
  • London Heathrow
  • London Gatwick
  • Paris
  • Vienna
These Services will end on the 27th March. Instead Olympic will focus on South Eastern Europe with routes launching

From Athens:
  • Alexandroupolis
  • Belgrade
  • Corfu
From Thessaloniki 
  • Chania, 
  • Heraklion, 
  • Mytilene 
  • Rhodes.
 Well, at least no one is being laid off or made unemployed. Yet.
