Tourism accounts for about a quarter of economic output in
Greece, which saw a record number of about 33 million visitors
last year.
The privately owned carrier, which competes with Aegean
Airlines' <AGNr.AT> subsidiary Olympic Airways on domestic
routes, flies to 24 Greek destinations, including the popular
islands of Corfu, Santorini and Crete on ATR42 and ATR72 twin
engine turboprop aircraft.
Sky Express said the deal would allow passengers to travel
across its network.
Qatar Airways, the country's flagship airline, has been flying
to Athens since 2005. Last year it added flights to Thessaloniki
and Mykonos.
