- Aegean’s president Eutychis Basilakis said airlines are becoming more conservative for the 2026‑2027 winter season, and Aegean has cut its summer capacity by about 1.5%‑2% compared with its original plan while keeping winter capacity at the same level as the previous year.
- The carrier had aimed for an annual capacity rise of 4%‑6% for early 2026, but its current increase is about 2% for the last quarter of 2025, down from a 10% rise in the same period last year; European airlines expect a difficult winter from November to March 2027 as fuel prices in Europe have risen 128% year‑on‑year.
