"We will not let companies, such as Aegean Airlines, without help," stated Development and Investments Minister Adonis Georgiadis at a press conference on Thursday, during which there was a presentation of the financing tools for the support of the economy. The minister noted that the "government is already preparing a plan for Aegean, which is not yet ready, so we are not going to announce the government's comprehensive plan. We are looking into such a plan and our aim is that the company not find itself in a position of weakness."

A specially modified Aegean Airlines aircraft landed at the Athens International Airport "Eleftherios Venizelos" early on Monday, carrying 1.7 million surgical masks from China that were donated to the Greek state by the Onassis Foundation and Greek shipowners.
