Aegean Airlines Airbus A320 registered SX-OAS arrived in Athens

Ex Olympic Air Airbus A320 registered SX-OAS that is now painted on Aegean Airlines colors and additional Visit Greece website titles, arrived today in Athens from Norwich. The flight with callsign OAL006P landed at 17:45L on runway 21R. After landing the plane was parked in the Olympic Air hangar. Unfortunately the Visit Greece website titles are not on both sides (only on left side), so they are not visible on this picture.

ex Olympic Air A320 registered SX-OAS received Aegean Airlines colors today

Ex Olympic Air Airbus A320 registered SX-OAS received yesterday (15/3/2011) the Aegean Airlines colors, as expected. In addition to the basic Aegean Airlines livery, the Greek Tourism Organisation website (www.visitgreece.gr) is added on the aft part of the fuselage. This was probably due to a recent agreement that Aegean Airlines and the Greek Tourism Organisation signed in order to promote Greece to the destinations that are served by the airline.
