Olympic Airlines is the successor company of the three airlines Olympic Airways, Olympic Aviation and Macedonian Airlines. The original of this model, an ATR-72/200, registered SX-BII stems from the former Aviation fleet and was commissioned with the name “Hippocrates” in April 1993 as one of currently seven examples. Together with six smaller ATR-42s, the short-haul fleet serves the widely scattered islands of the Greek Aegean.
