OLYMPIC HANDLING, ZAKYNTHOS

Originally owned by Greek shipping magnate Aristotle Onassis, Olympic Handling is the flagship FBO in Greece and provides the ultimate in luxury in all airports in the Ionian Islands.

Olympic covers a wide spectrum of services including VIP passenger and ramp handling services, re-fueling, de-icing and aircraft cleaning. Each flight is tailored to suit the needs of the passengers. Zakynthos airport was built in 2008 near the home of the endangered loggerhead turtle. For this reason, aircraft are not permitted to land or depart at night, so the turtles are not disturbed laying their eggs.
