Alexandair was a charter airline headquartered in Athens, Greece, specializing in wet-lease charter operations mainly for prominent tour operators. Its primary base of operations was Heraklion International Airport. The airline discontinued its services in September 2007.
History
Established in 2004 by Capt. Theodore Kokmotos, who held the roles of president and managing director, Alexandair concentrated on transporting both passengers and cargo by air. In 2005, following the acquisition of its Air Operator Certificate and Operating License from the Hellenic Civil Aviation Authority, the company leased a Boeing MD-82 configured with 161 seats.
Between May 2005 and 2008, Alexandair conducted charter flights collaborating with top tour operators, primarily linking airports on Greek islands with various European destinations. During the winter seasons of 2005–2006 and 2006–2007, the airline broadened its route network to include charter services between Northern Iraq and Europe, as well as routes connecting Nairobi with other capitals across Africa.
Destinations
The airline's charter flights originated from several Greek airports such as Chania, Corfu, Heraklion, Kos, Thessaloniki, and Rhodes. Additionally, it operated from Erbil in Northern Iraq and Nairobi in Kenya.
