Macedonian Airlines will begin operations by end-March, early April, Stavros Daliakas, general commercial manager of Olympic Air said on Wednesday.

The re-operation of Olympic Air's subsidiary was recently announced by MIG's chairman Andreas Vgenopoulos with the aim to covering the needs for more destinations in Olympic Air's flight schedule.

Speaking to reporters, Daliakas said Macedonian Airlines' plans to begin scheduled flights from Thessaloniki to Moscow, London, Paris, Amsterdam and a German city. The airline company was seeking to reach a partnership agreement with KLM for translatlantic flight connections.

Olympic Air is currently discussing with representatives of Northern Greece's business and travel communities in order to finalise its flight schedule. Daliakas said Olympic Air's winter flight program would be presented in October 25 with more flights per destination (eight flights to Thessaloniki). He said the seat occupancy rates were currently at 60 pct.
