This is a very good news for Aegean. Someone know what are these routes?

Yeah yeah...
Since it is merging with Olympic Air it can have it's slots too.. Soon we will see Aegean fly to NYC and to the other long haul flights Olympic used to have.
That was Aegeans purpuse all along since by it self couldn't get the slots!
Too bad that all Onasis worked for are going to the trashcan..
