Viking Hellas
That's interesting,1 A320 in Athens and 1 in Heraklion,that would be good,I think that probably adfly refers the start of the flight operation with A320 around April,but to better understand it the most important thing would be to know from which company come the A320's and if they are already in Athens or not.

The one aircraft registered with the airline, an ex-Viking Airlines MD-83 based in Athens, is only to be used as a back-up, while the core of Viking Hellas’ operations in the beginning will be operated with Viking Airlines’ Swedish-registered fleet of 737-300s and 737-800s out of Manchester. The airline is in the process of acquiring two A320s, one of which will take over the scheduled operations and the other which will operate charter flights out of Heraklion in Crete.
At the moment SE-RHV is operating for Viking Hellas

It looks like a serious plan for this summer in Greece,do you have any idea from which flight company the A320's arrive?
I think from a flight company or from a lessor,I don't think that they buy it.

Facts R Us,
what are you reffered when you say that the second one is split base in Greece?For the charter flights between Greece and UK?
Anyway I understand that for seeing the first Viking Hellas A320 we will have to wait until mid May,I thought they will start to fly with A320's before considering that the summer there starts very soon.

Abesi - Split base is between two Airports, 3 days a week in one, 4 days a week somewhere else. First 'VKH' A320 should be flying mid March.
Berok1w - Yes I am sure my facts are correct, hence my user name!

Facts R Us,
that's looks like more similar to what I heard,first A320 in mid March is different from first A320 in UK until mid May.
Probably you mean first in mid March and second in mid May.
Now I understood what you said about the split base.
Probably 1 in ATH for the line and 1 in split base between Heraklion and ATH for charters.

Rumours say that 2 A320 are in ATH in process by Greek authorities to be released to Viking Hellas but it seems they have some problems with this process.
They should start their A320 operations in April but it is to be supposed that the A320 certification by the Greek authorities will take more time.
Anyone can confirm this rumour?

Abesi - your rumours are wrong. Both aircraft have 'air tested' in the last two days with no issue, neither are in ATH and normal certification is in process.
Fjencl - All 738's have IFE appart from SE-RHX, however the company is looking into discontinuing mainscreen IFE and replacing this with individual hand held systems. This will mean that there will then also be IFE available in hand held format on the 733's.

So if what you say is correct,no doubts about it,like you told me your nick is clear,we will see the first A320 fliyng for Viking Hellas in the midde of March,I think this is great for Greece first of all.
