Greece is a beautiful country with a rich history. You can rest at its resorts at any time of the year, and most importantly - regardless of the season, rest is definitely not shocking at the price. Perhaps the most expensive are plane tickets. AZI Airlines is what a traveler needs, who does not need to purchase exceptionally expensive tickets. This carrier is the face of international Greek airlines, and it is distinguished by cheaper tickets.
Popular fallacy
Very often, passengers of the names of unknown airlines are confused with the ICAO code. Such codes are assigned to each airport and to the carrier itself. Airline AZI - this is the name of the carrier in the ICAO code system. The real name is Astra Airlines. Do not be scared if the ticket says only AZI, as this is the same company.
Despite the fact that this misconception is very popular, it is quite useful when registering for a flight. Information boards rarely display complete information, and often only the ICAO code or flight code is indicated.
Face of greek airlines
Resorts in Greece are famous all over the world. It is a warm country with beautiful beaches. Regular flights of Greek airlines to European countries have a positive effect on the equipment of aircraft, because European requirements are much higher than those in the CIS and Asia.
AZI is the face of Greek international airlines. Nobody is hiding this, because even the call sign of the carrier is translated from English as "the star of Greece." All airline planes boast cleanliness in the cabin, a high level of service on board, an excellent team of stewards and impressive flight safety.
Officially, the year of the carrier’s creation is considered to be 2008. At the very beginning of its history, AZI was considered a company focused on Greek domestic airlines. However, in such a small country, such an orientation is not advantageous. Gradually, the carrier began to fly to other European countries, and in 2011 came to Russia.
The main base of AZI Airlines is Macedonia International Airport, located in Thessaloniki. This is not a regular carrier, but a charter one, that is, the company does not make regular flights. This in itself significantly reduces the cost of tickets.
Aircraft first thing
The face of any airline is its aircraft. Large passenger carriers have impressive fleets, in which there are more than a hundred aircraft. AZI cannot boast of so many planes. Her entire fleet has only 5 modern aircraft manufactured in the UK. These are mainly BAe 146-300, "Airbus A320-200", as well as ATR.
All aircraft are modern and comfortable. The airline flies AZI 903 to Russia primarily on Airbus, other planes are intended for domestic flights and air communications with European powers.
Reviews
The fame of the company is not created by the service itself, but by reviews about it. This is the subjective sensation of passengers from flying an airplane of a given carrier. Despite numerous negative reviews, the company's overall rating is kept at the level of the largest Russian carriers.
Positive reviews about AZI airline indicate a high level of professionalism of pilots, modern aircraft, hot meals on board and the goodwill of the steward team. All negative passenger reviews relate to the convenience of seats in the cabin. For example, uncomfortable chairs are often criticized, as well as a fairly narrow passage between the rows. In addition, all the aircraft of the company in their design transmit shaking stronger than other models, so that turbulence is felt to a much greater extent.
