Aegean was named Europe’s Leading Regional Airline for the third time, through a public vote organised as part of the 24th World Travel Awards.

The title reaffirms its position as one of the most preferred airlines by passengers worldwide.

The World Travel Awards were established in 1993 to acknowledge, reward and celebrate excellence across all key sectors of the travel, tourism and hospitality industries.

Today, the World Travel Awards brand is recognised globally as the ultimate hallmark of industry excellence.

The award was received by Roland Jaggi, Aegean’s director of revenue management, pricing, sales and distribution.

He stated: “All of us at Aegean are particularly proud that a Greek company was successful in being recognised as the best among so many acclaimed airline companies by passengers who fly to European and other destinations.

“This repeated distinction for Aegean is an advertisement for the Greek hospitality services and Greek tourism, as well as recognition of the passionate and dedicated services our colleagues deliver daily to our passengers.

“We will continue to offer innovative services and products to our customers who are the best ambassadors of our values and this is once again proven through World Travel Awards golden distinction.”
