How a Nerve-Wracking Aborted Take-Off Turned Into a Surprising Win for AEGEAN Airlines—and Why It Boosted My Trust Like Never Before
Rebalancing act
When we scanned our original boarding passes for the new flight, they were rejected — not due to error, but necessity. On the new aircraft, a larger A320, weight distribution mattered. We were given new seat assignments to ensure balance.
This might seem like a small footnote. But in truth, it’s another page in AEGEAN’s safety manual being read aloud. No corners cut. No “it’ll be fine”. Just protocols followed to the letter, even at 10pm, even for a 40-minute domestic hop.
A seamless return
Our return journey — first with Olympic Air from Kefalonia to Athens, then with AEGEAN back to Manchester — went entirely to plan. Smooth check-ins, punctual departures, and the same level of friendly professionalism we’d come to expect. After the drama of the outbound flight, the calm efficiency of the return was a quiet comfort.
