Turkish Airlines (TK, Istanbul Airport) is still interested in a stake in Greece's Olympic Air (OA, Athens) as well as buying Aegean Airlines (A3, Athens) reports in the Turkish press have claimed. Under the purported deal as described in the Zaman journal, Turkish is "still considering an Olympic Air buyout in its effort to expand further in the region." Under the plan, following its acquisition, Olympic would retain its name and logo for a short period before being fully integrated into Turkish Airlines. Athens would also be developed into a hub alongside Istanbul Atatürk, "in order to start operating flights from Greece to various destinations abroad." Turkish is also said to be mulling a possible bid to acquire Aegean Airlines (A3, Athens) at a later date.
