I am pretty sure that I read one of their aircraft is actually (wet?) leased and includes a 'real' business cabin. Not sure if the seats are lie-flat, but much better than economy for sure.

Yes they are the old LOT Polish Airlines angled flat seats. Quite comfortable considering its only marketed as Premium and the price reflects it.

I guess this kind of thing is to be expected with such a small fleet. One would hope that passengers would be rebooked onto other airlines, but it seems that SkyGreece is not willing to do so. Even though I believe that they could do so at cost (transfer the original flight coupon to the new operating airline(s)).

Wow, sad news. Seems the aircraft is going to be chained in Canada to make sure people are compensated as well.
Not sure if it is totally fair to blame these problems on the Greek economic crisis - it seems their barbaric handling of flight operations and irrops was one of the main factors in people avoiding them.
