Any news regarding this operation?

I have the feeling that FR will not operate soon routes to Greece for several reasons. Apart the standard reasons such us secondary airports, protection of the Greek government of it own (bankrupted) flag carrier...etc...

The point is that the Greek citizens rarely travel abroad. And an airline cannot be sustained just from the summer season. Moreover, as we all know FR sells the 98% (maybe even more) via Internet. In Greece the internet access at the moment is very low. So, I can't see how FR could reach the clients.

From the other side, I see a big potential for routes such as CIA - ATH and from London to Athens. There are loads of Greeks studing abroad and that would be a good market for the LOCOs....

However does any insider have any info?
