How a Nerve-Wracking Aborted Take-Off Turned Into a Surprising Win for AEGEAN Airlines—and Why It Boosted My Trust Like Never Before
Likewise, the pilot’s voice over the intercom was an anchor. Calm. Controlled. Reassuring. Once back in the terminal, everything continued with that same understated efficiency.

Our original flight—scheduled to depart Athens at 20:30—would have landed us in Kefalonia by 21:45.
Instead, we boarded a replacement AEGEAN A320 at 22:22 and touched down at 23:01.
