SEEA is established at Athens in early 1993 to operate domestic and regional services with a fleet of 2 Fokker 50s and 3 Fairchild Metro IIIs. Kostas Piladakis is named managing director and a contract is entered into with Virgin Atlantic Airways, Ltd. to initiate feeder services on its behalf from Athens-London (LGW). An Airbus A320 is ordered and in the meantime, a B-737-42C is leased from Air U. K. Leisure, Ltd. and employed to begin the international contract on March 29.
The Boeing is replaced in January 1994 with a leased Airbus Industrie A320-231. A Fairchild Metro 23 is also acquired. Encountering severe financial difficulties, the carrier fails in March 1995 and transfers its Airbus over to VAA, which begins its own service on the U. K.-Greece route.
