Hellenic Airways Virtual Airline

 
Its been a long time since Hellenic Airways has  published an update  and many things have since changed.
 
Our whole website has been amazingly upgraded and countless features have been added to make this great hobby even more enjoyable for hellenic airways pilots.
 
I want to take this opportunity to introduce some of our new features to this community and i hope to  welcome some of you guys soon as new crew members.
 
First of all we have discontinued all Wet Lease operations and moved some of our aircraft back to greece where they have been integrated in the regular Hellenic Airways operations. 
After 2 years of wet lease flights in Asia, North America and Oceania  we felt it's now time to concentrate on our main operations in europe. 
 
The additional aircrafts and a completely reworked scheduling system allowed us to expand our operations from/to greek airports on a large scale. Not only have we opened many new aircraft bases on the greek islands but also the schedules from/to our main hubs offer an increased route variety of regional, international and intercontinental destinations.
 
Our Boeing 767's have been converted to Cargo planes and operate now alongside our MD11F aircrafts on our freight schedules at Hellenic Cargo.
As replacement the B777 has joined our Passenger Fleet.
 
 
 
Some (but by far not all) New Features:
- Pilot of the Month Award (Points System)
For every flight our pilots earn Pilot Points.
The System is aimed to have a fair pilot of the month competition.
This means that no matter if you prefer flying the heavies on 10h+ flights or just like the quick Hops from Island to Island in one of our turboprops you will have the chance to Win this Award.
The winner is announced ON our website and receives a discount code for one of the major FS Addon Stores.
 
- IKAROS Frequent Flyer Program
The IKAROS frequent Flyer program isnt really a competition. Instead it gives you the opportunity to spend your earned Premium Miles and lift some restrictions of our booking system, buy additional charter flights, transfer aircraft, buy Jumpseat Tickets,.....!
There are a lot of different ways to earn and spend premium miles. More information can be found on our website.
 
- Chat System
We have integrated the arrowchat Chat System to our website. This is a great way for our pilots to stay connected and exchange their experiences. Besides the private chat function we also have Chat Rooms in use.
 
 
Hellenic Flight Training (a VATSIM ATO Authorized Training Organisation) has now started to work on the training documentation for the VATSIM P2 rating after our P1 rating courses were a great success and we plan to expand our service to even higher ratings in the future.
 
There were countless changes at all other parts of the website as well plus our Dispatch Office has been extensively upgraded and now offers a highly detailed Flight Briefing, ICAO Flight Plan, Aircraft Voyage Reports, Boarding Passes, Pilot to Pilot flight Information and lots of other stuff.
 
 
Last thing i want to mention is that Hellenic Airways has left GlobalOne Alliance and has launched the AEOLUS Virtual Airline Alliance in cooperation with TNT Virtual. Currently there are 6 member airlines from Europe, South America and the United States and we are continuously expanding the alliance network to other parts of the world.
The Alliance not only gives our airline staffs the opportunity to support each other but also offers events and in the future an information database for our airlines pilots.
