The fledgling airline also plans to operate direct Athens-New York flights. <\/p>\n<p>It plans to inaugurate its first North American flight May 17. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cBH Air is a great company and the addition of their five aircraft to our program definitely makes us an important player in Eastern Europe and the Balkans,\u201d SkyGreece Vasilios (Bill) Alefantis said in a statement. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cBy adding Sofia&#8230;we solidify our presence [there] and become a genuine alternative for&#8230;direct flights between Europe and North America,\u201d said the Laval-based airline founder. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe new partnership will enable us to maximize the use of our fleet in Europe and develop a North American program from Bulgaria,\u201d added BH Air CEO Ianko Ivanov. \u201cCanada is just one of the destinations that we wish to offer from Bulgaria.\u201d<br \/>\n  (function(i,s,o,g,r,a,m){i[&#8216;GoogleAnalyticsObject&#8217;]=r;i[r]=i[r]||function(){<br \/>\n  (i[r].q=i[r].q||[]).push(arguments)},i[r].l=1*new Date();a=s.createElement(o),<br \/>\n  m=s.getElementsByTagName(o)[0];a.async=1;a.src=g;m.parentNode.insertBefore(a,m)<br \/>\n  })(window,document,&#8217;script&#8217;,&#8217;\/\/www.google-analytics.com\/analytics.js&#8217;,&#8217;ga&#8217;);<\/p>\n<p>  ga(&#8216;create&#8217;, &#8216;UA-45892555-1&#8217;, &#8216;auto&#8217;);<br \/>\n  ga(&#8216;send&#8217;, &#8216;pageview&#8217;);<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<a href=\"http:\/\/rf.podcastfixit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/SkyGreece-takoff-1024x695.jpg\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/rf.podcastfixit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/SkyGreece-takoff-1024x695.jpg\" height=\"217\" width=\"320\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Robert Frankwww.thesuburban.com SkyGreece intends to expand its reach even further.
