Or you could argue that a strong airline which has managed to make a success in very difficult circumstances which supports the Greek tourism industry and suppliers is a very good thing. They actively promote brand Greece abroad and are doing a very good job of expanding the route network out of ATH and other stations. They are offering more and more routes to destinations where before there were little to none. The fares are competitive and product still very decent compared to other European carriers. Im sure everyone would like to pay mega cheap fares and then get all the frills free but then when the airline goes bust due to making no profits they would also complain. Like other airlines A3 have to compete with the rest. Despite the recent changes they are still a very good airline with a very good product.

What aspect of the merger do you have issue with? What routes do you think were effected?
