Hi Drive4it,
Skywings have indeed experienced a number of long delays this summer and reviews all over the internet are very negative. Whilst Olympic may not have assisted delayed passengers very well, they have recognised that the levels of service Skywings provides is well below par. For this reason Olympic have stated that whilst they can't confirm the actual airlines that will operate their flights next year, no Skywings flights are available to book anymore. This indicates that Skywings will not be used next summer and a replacement carrier will be brought in. Flights are currently listed as being operated by Strategic, Tor Air and Fly Hellas, although I suspect the times and airlines are still subject to changes.
Olympic used to use Monarch for all of their charter flights. This agreement ended before this summer season, with some people suggesting Olympic were not willing to pay the going rate and other suggesting Monarch pulled out to concentrate on the increase in the number of scheduled flights they offer - I suppose we'll never know!
Regards
Sam
