About Ellinair

Ellinair was a Greek airline which started operations in February 2013 and was based at Thessaloniki International Airport and Athens International Airport. The airline was part of the Mouzenidis Group, alongside Mouzenidis Travel Company, which is a leading tour operator within Greece.

In 2021, Ellinair ceased operations because Mouzenidis Travel Company ceased trading that same year. Ellinair parked its aircraft fleet with the intention of restarting services in 2022, however, these plans were ultimately put on hold.
