Greece`s newest international carrier,
Axon took to the air June 29 after an initial investment of one billion drachmas. Thomas Liakounakos, the airline`s chairman, adds that by the end of this year the company`s capital will reach $30 million or about 9.3 billion drachmas.
Haris Koutas, Axon`s managing director, says the airline`s business plan is based on daily flights from Athens to four major European destinations (Rome, Milan, Paris, Brussels) with two new Boeing 737-700 passenger jets. The company plans to purchase another 737-700 and will break into the domestic market next spring with two new B717-200 regional jets that are now on order. The company is one of the world`s first to order the new generation Boeing jets. He says the airline will base its future on providing the latest in technology, new generation aircraft, on-time departures, quality service, and above all, complete safety: In other words, `value for money,` says Mr. Koutas.
Axon`s workforce, the company says, trains and will continue to train to uphold a strict world level of professional service standards. Pilots have been trained at the Boeing Flight Safety Training Center and have an average of 10,000 flying hours.
