Talk:Olympic Air

Founded
OA was found as Olympic Airways in 1957 and sold by the Greek Government in 2009 to private investors and renamed Olympic Air. Still the same company - assets, logo, etc. just new ownership. El Greco(talk) 20:52, 29 September 2009 (UTC)


 * Olympic Air was founded in 2009 by renaming Pantheon Airways which had been founded in 2008 nothing legally connecting it to Olympic Airways. Buying some of the assests does not buy the history. Olympic Airways still exists until is is closed down. To say Olympic Air was founded in 1957 is in my opinion misleading. MilborneOne (talk) 21:00, 29 September 2009 (UTC)


 * Then what's the difference between Olympic Airways and Olympic Airline? The Greek Government dumped the debt off the other one and renamed the airline. The same thing happened their, that's happening now with Olympic Air, (yet there is one article for both) and Airways and Airline are considered the same company. Pantheon was nothing but the Government's way to rebrand the airline, which never took flight anyway, so the Greek Government sold off everything to MIG.

 * Olympic Airways and Airline were the same airline but not the same as Olympic Air which is new. If they were the same how is that Olympic Airlines still legally exists. MilborneOne (talk) 18:31, 30 September 2009 (UTC)


 * That assets of Olympic Airlines have not been fully absorbed into the Olympic Air. Olympic Air was formed off the assets, staff, planes, history, and logo of Olympic Airlines/Airways. The same happened when Airways went into becoming Airlines. All they basically did was rename the company and books. El Greco(talk) 22:54, 26 October 2009 (UTC)


 * As before they are not the same company, it is not the same as just renaming. Two different legal entities. None of the references say they are the same company. The website has the statement "Olympic Air operates all of the Greek PSO routes as well as services to seven (7) International destinations, which are based on bilateral agreements, on behalf of Olympic Airlines." which is a funny think to say if you are the same airline that has just renamed. MilborneOne (talk) 23:47, 27 October 2009 (UTC)


 * Ok, this is 3 years after your conversation, but I have to say: MilborneOne, you are splitting hairs. The government may have been careful about how Olympic Air was branded so that it could avoid offloading all the debt to the new private company, but I think the rest of us should be able to read between the lines. Olympic Air, Olympic Airlines, and Olympic Airways are OBVIOUSLY the same company, but with different ownership and corporate culture. The company was private, then public, then re-branded public, then private again. It has essentially the same logo, essentially the same staff, essentially the same aircraft... At some point you have to admit the futility of your legalistic argument.Nojamus (talk) 20:36, 23 July 2012 (UTC)

Premium Economy
Olympic Air now offers Premium Economy on selected domesetic and international flights on its Bombardier Q400 aircraft. They also have a new interior apparently. I was going to edit the aircraft table to include Y+ on the class list, but I cannot find any information as to how many Premium Economy seats are actually on each Q400. Anyone else have any information on this? --Philly boy92 (talk) 23:43, 15 August 2011 (UTC)
