On Tuesday (April 21, 2026), AEGEAN announced the signing of a new codeshare partnership with Air China, enhancing connectivity between Greece and China while offering passengers greater flexibility and a seamless travel experience.  Both airlines will introduce codeshare flights, enabling passengers to travel on direct services from Athens to Beijing, as well as to Guangzhou via connections through Air China’s network.  Travelers will also be able to continue their journey with AEGEAN to popular Greek destinations, including Heraklion, Santorini, Rhodes, and Thessaloniki.  Likewise, passengers traveling from Greece will benefit from improved access to multiple destinations across China through Air China’s extensive network, with the convenience of a single booking and an upgraded travel experience.


In Tuesday’s announcement, AEGEAN’s Chief Commercial Officer, Roland Jaggi, said,


“This partnership with Air China represents a significant milestone in strengthening our presence in Asia.  By expanding our network, we are providing our passengers with greater choice and flexibility, while enhancing connectivity between Greece and China and supporting new opportunities for tourism and bilateral trade.”


The agreement was signed at Air China’s offices in Rome on Tuesday (April 21, 2026) in the presence of Mr. Roland Jaggi, Chief Commercial Officer of AEGEAN, and senior executives of Air China, and the partnership is expected to commence in May 2026.  Air China currently operates three weekly flights between Beijing and Athens, and plans to increase frequency to five weekly services for summer 2026.  Leveraging their membership in the Star Alliance, the airlines will also explore further opportunities to expand cooperation across additional routes, aiming to better serve the growing travel demand between Europe and Asia.
