History of Aegean Airlines
In 1992 Aegean Aviation became the first private Greek airline to hold an air operator's certificate. Aegean Airlines was established in March 1999 and operated its first flights in May 1999 (Athens–Heraklion and Athens–Thessaloniki). It joined Star Alliance in June 2010 and completed the purchase of 100% of Olympic Air in October 2013, making it a subsidiary.
Preparing for psychometric tests before a selection
Some pilot selections include psychometric tests. ForAllPilots does not say whether Aegean Airlines uses them, or which ones: none of the series below is presented as Aegean Airlines's.
To practise anyway, the site offers several series of exercises, included with the ATPL subscription. They are practice exercises, not official tests: ForAllPilots is not affiliated with any airline or any test publisher, and the exact rules or scoring may differ.
- BQ psychometric tests: cubes, matrices and word problems
- CUT E / AON psychometric tests: deductive reasoning, landing and tunnel
- COMPASS psychometric tests: flying a flight display and orientation
- DLR psychometric tests: spatial orientation, vigilance and perception
