Hellenic Imperial Airways had another challenging year.
2010 turned out to be a year of changes within the company as well as a year of great plans to start scheduled operations to several destinations world wide, while overcoming the economical crisis in Europe.

Being nominated “Best European Charter Airline 2010” by ITM, Hellenic Imperial Airways performed flights for several major airlines. At the beginning of 2010 Hellenic Imperial Airways operated humanitarian flights to Haiti for both the Greek Government as well as for the Libyan Government transporting enormous amounts of relief aid.

The Greek Foreign Ministry sent a team of 25 healthcare professionals, nurses, rescuers as well as Hellenic Aid officials and rescue workers, along with pharmaceutical supplies on board a direct flight provided by Hellenic Imperial Airways on one of our Boeing 747’s.

The company took on 50 % of the expenses as part of their social sensitivity programme to provide aid to the people of Haiti who were left destitute by the devastating earthquake.

During the FIFA World Cup 2010 in Johannesburg (South Africa), Hellenic Imperial Airways, being the Official Carrier of the Greek National Football Team, transported not only the Greek National Football Team to their Durban destination, but also many Greek football supporters as part of their scheduled flights which they performed after having been appointed the Designated Carrier for South Africa by the Greek Civil Aviation Authority.

Also Dutch and Spanish sports fans enjoyed the Greek hospitality Hellenic Imperial Airways provides, on their way to support their countries during the World Cup final.

TUI (Germany), Libyan Airlines (Libya), Blue Panorama Airlines (Italy), Alwafeer (KSA) and Max Air (Nigeria) were amongst the air carriers that trusted Hellenic Imperial Airways’ to operate on their behalf.
