The airline operated without competition on domestic routes in Greece and served a small number of European and Middle Eastern cities.

The airline was sold to Aristotle Onassis in 1957 and he renamed the carrier Olympic Airways.

In 1955, the airline was not performing financially and the Greek state sought unsuccessfully to find a buyer.

Eventually, Aristotle Onassis agreed to buy the ailing carrier in July 1956.
