Greek carrier Marathon Airlines joins the ERA

The ERA has welcomed another airline into its membership – Marathon Airlines. Marathon Airlines is a Greek-based airline specialising in ACMI, charter and executive flight operations.

The airline obtained its AOC in 2020, and currently operates a fleet of two aircraft: an Embraer 175 at 88-seat configuration and an Embraer Legacy E135 at 13 seats. The airline is expecting delivery of another two E175 LRs by 15 November 2022, which will also be available for ACMI and charter.

Andreas Kaiafas, CEO & Accountable Manager, Marathon Airlines said: “We are delighted that Marathon Airlines is the newest member of the European Regions Airline Association and look forward to co-operating with both ERA and our fellow airlines member to defend our common interests with the regulatory bodies in Europe.”

Montserrat Barriga, Director General, ERA, added: “With ACMI operations continuing to provide a vital role in the recovery of the industry post-pandemic, Marathon Airlines is a great example of a European regional airline adapting its services according to market demands. ERA is very much looking forward to working closely with Mr Kaiafas and his team.”
