Greece’s major Airline AEGEAN announced the addition of two extra flights
Greece’s major Airline AEGEAN announced the addition of two extra flights for Monday, February 3 and one additional flight for tomorrow, February 4, to and from the Santorini, as reoccurring seismic activity in the Aegean continues to shake the island.
The addition of the extra flights followed a request from the Ministry of Climate Crisis and Civil Protection. The aim of the additional flights is to facilitate the movement of residents and visitors who wish to leave the island. The company noted that all four regular, scheduled daily flights to and from Santorini will operate as usual according to schedule.
The series of earthquakes have caused concern among locals and tourists, despite reassuring statements from officials and authorities. This has resulted in a soaring increase of people leaving the island travelling by plane and ferry.
There was an increased movement at the Athinios port early Monday morning, February 3, with mainly visitors and seasonal workers rushing to leave on the first ferry of the day from the Cycladic island, due to fear of a larger earthquake.
As reported, the Blue Star Chios ferry, departed from the Athinios port for Athens, fully booked, in the early hours of Monday.
