SKY express (GQ)

The Greek airline SKY Express has recorded strong growth in the French market since the beginning of 2026. The country is attracting visitors with its islands, heritage, climate and attractive fares. The airline now serves Paris, Lyon, Marseille, Nantes and Lille. The Lyon to Athens air connection plays an important role in this expansion. It allows travellers to reach the Greek capital directly from the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region. During the summer season, several flights also connect France with Heraklion, Crete. Some routes remain available until the end of November. This extension makes it possible to enjoy Greece outside the peak season. The airline is also banking on a straightforward pricing policy. It does not apply a fuel surcharge to its tickets. Once in Athens, there are more opportunities to explore. SKY Express connects the Greek capital with 33 destinations across the country. Travellers can easily reach iconic islands such as Santorini, Mykonos, Rhodes and Chania. These fast connections simplify the organisation of a trip and reduce travel times.
