I loved the Olympic A340. I don't know what made me like it so much but it just looks so great with that timeless livery. The best day I had at YYZ was watching from the gate as it taxiied in. I remember thinking how amazing it was that two people were controlling such a huge piece of machinery.

NICE VID BRO...maybe i know your dad for sure...lol

[ezenico3000]

come back olympic

[Apaleutos24]

Τι να πει κανεις για την Ολυμπιακη... Μυθος!

[karydi1]

The direct charter flights to the greek islands by european carriers rendered OA irrelevant. The travelling public no longer had to connect in the Hellenikon airport dump, and use the * services * of OA to transport them to the greek islands.

With respect to the comment on the first flight to YUL, I can confirm in 1971 when we immigrated to Canada that OA was flying with the B707.

[Ahuntsicspotter]

Air Canada and Air Transat is now flying between Montreal and Athens.

[jjgreek1]

The end of Olympic started when Onassis handed it over to the Greek Corrupt State, and when the Greek unions launched a 30-year battle to shut it down for good. The unions won...Olympic and the Greek people lost.

[TransAm0424]

@jjgreek1 You are correct. Once Onassis handed the airline over to the government, it went down the toilet. BIG TIME !

[AMAKSAKIAS]

the end of olympic started when the hellinikon be closed

[flyerviv88]

great airline but .... mmmm i dont like the logo and paint, look likes their planes are so old. but mmm great service!

[AMAKSAKIAS]

the rainbow colors are very nice

[sakusia]

TransAm what airplane did you like better the A340-300 or 747 200 Olympic flew with? i prefered the A340 it looked better in Olympic registry. Also do you happen to know when Olympic flew to Canada for the first time?

[TransAm0424]

My dad worked for OA. He was one of the original people to open OA in YUL. I used to go with him to the airport as a kid. I believe it started flying to YUL in 1974-75. I think it was around that time because my father met Onassis a few times in YUL. As for my favorite aircraft. I like the Jumbo. But my real favorite is the B-707, I flew on it many times to Greece.

[jjgreek1]

@TransAm0424 Hi Transam. My favorite was B707 too. My family immigrated to the US on Dec 7 1967 (ATH to JFK), and the four of us flew on the 707...I barely remember it as I was only 5. In the early 70s my brother and I would fly Olympic 707 back to Athens, but I distinctly remember a stop in Paris.

[karydi1]

I first flew to YUL in JULY 1971. It was a B707.

[warhawk40]

@sakusia Olympic should have purchased the Boeing 777-200ER with those huge GE90 engines that blows away the underpowered CFM56-5C A340-300.

[sakusia]

its too bad Olympic will not be part of the major European carrier heavies. Alitalia,BA, Lufthansa, KLM and Air France all will still fly to Toronto, but without the Olympic A340, it ain't the same.

[sakusia]

I also flew with Delphi to Toronto this year, but dam it looked filthy. I guess they didn't care anymore since they knew it was going to be sold.

[TransAm0424]

The aircraft was very dirty and the paint was faded. I miss it, i've been doing this flight for 23 years. Let's see what happends, I think it will come back.

[sakusia]

you mean you worked for Olympic at Pearson International? did you get to touch any flight attendant's asses?

[yannisa340]
