On March 11, Athens will welcome this year’s first direct flight from the United States. Greek Tourism Minister Vassilis Kikilias said, speaking to ERT, that Delta Airlines will be the US carrier to officially open non-stop connections from American airports to Greece for 2023 with its New York JFK – Athens flight.
Minister said that “US airlines will soon be flying direct to Greece all 12 months of the year, in addition to Emirates,” adding that the extension of the country’s tourism season is falling into place. It is reminded that Emirates runs all-year round daily flights from Dubai to Newark Liberty International Airport via Athens.
