It is not the runways on Greek islands are short.

Greek airlines are atrocious, have the poorest safety record, and the pilots are ...not the best (to be polite).

Sorry, I would not fly any Greek airline if I do not have to.

It is an english airline, well was.. :P

zante airport is a visual approach airport the only clues the piolets have is a set of nlight to the left of the runway btelling them if they are to high or to low there is no autoland facilitys at this airport

[igniswizzard]

@kokolo00 im sorry but this is pathetic. how can you brand greek airlines with the poorest safety?. iv been flying cyprus airways for 18 year and i would never go with another airline. also cyprus airways has never had a accident in all of its 66 years of service.

@kokolo00 Stupid yank, I flew with Olympic Air, very new and clean aircrafts. Also all airlines in EU are safe, and no fatal accident has happened to greek airline during last 20 years.

@kokolo00 Theres nothing wrong with greek airlines!!!! !!! he probs had the flaps down to 25% rather than 15%

@gullygully69 take-off from skiathos for most airliners flying to international destinations are mass limited. High temp + relatively short runway. So a refuelling stop is needed. If u look at the schedules of airlines flying to skiathos at summer most include another destination within 1hour of flight from skiathos. For example Aero Lloyd used to fly Frankfurt-Skiathos-Kalamata-Fr­ankfurt.

@HellasPromytheus

Hey watching the planes at Skiathos is great to watch. The only downside when taking off from there is the refuelling at Thessaloniki

@HellasPromytheus yes, i liked your comments very much^^
