Olympus Airways is a Greek charter airline offering ACMI-leasing, charter and ad-hoc flights headquartered in Athens.

History

Olympus Airways secured its Air Operators Certificate (AOC) from the Hellenic Civil Aviation Authority (HCAA) in 2015. The company commenced operations with a single Boeing 737-500 in October 2015 offering charter flights between Greece and Germany.[1]

In August 2018, Olympus Airways faced severe criticism for terminating all German leisure operations without notice over an argument regarding unpaid bills.[2] In the same time Wataniya Airways, both of which aircraft were then operated by Olympus Airways, was admonished by Kuwait authorities regarding their unreliable operations.[3] Shortly after, Wataniya Airways announced to terminate the contract with Olympus Airways.[4]
