  1. LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT
 
I wish to all AOPA members a happy new year, blue skies and safe landings
AOPA Greece is getting bigger and more effective each passing year. This is due to the aviation spirit and hard work of all our members.
Despite the difficult economic situation, we manage to have more air shows and of better quality each year.
We invite all aviation friends to join the ranks of AOPA Greece. Together we can build a better sky for all aviators. Join our ranks
 

  1. SEA PLANES IN GREECE
 
An important meeting was held in the island of Corfu on December 13.  High ranking Administration officials met with all companies preparing to launch sea plane commercial operations early next year.
AOPA was there of course and among other things discussed the situation of private sea planes.
There is real sense that this time sea plane operations will end up successfully.
 

  1. ELLINAIR
 
A new commercial company named Ellinair was announced. Based at Thessaloniki MAKEDONIA airport, the new company will start operations linking Thessaloniki with various destinations in Russia, Ukraine, and other countries of the same area.
