DL to increase ATH traffic & offer connections w/ Greek carrier
ATHENS, March 14 (Reuters) - U.S. carrier Delta Air Lines (NYSEAL - News) plans to increase flights to Greece in May this year, upbeat on tourist travel to the country hosting the 2004 Olympic Games, Greece's tourism organisation (EOT) said on Friday.
EOT, whose president met with Delta's top manager in Europe, said the airline will collaborate with Greece's Aegean Airlines for interconnecting flights.

since rotating to a larger aircraft is basically out of the question... perhaps this will be the return of [a seasonal?] ATL-ATH?

That's if Athens gets its act together. As of Feb, it was at least 6 months behind in preparation for the games.
Also, not the most friendly place for US citizens.
Perhaps DL needs to get in the game early, otherwise, I don't get this??

I have been doing a lot of research for an upcoming trip to Greece in the spring of 2004. ....that is why I have been collecting as many Skymiles as possible. Aegean Air is Olympic Air's domestic competition. Their website:

IIRC, Greece does not have an OpenSkies agreement with this country, does it?

Also, the latter is virtually guaranteed to come on line should the deal with NW/CO be a profitable success.
