Air Mediterranean is a Greek charter airline headquartered in Athens and based at Athens International Airport.[1]

History

However, as of 18 January 2018, the airline suspended all flights until further notice.[5] In February 2018, the airline announced to cease all of its scheduled operations for good and focus on charter operations instead in the future.[6]
