SKY express, in collaboration with the Ministry of Education, Religious Affairs and Sports, remains true to its commitment to supporting Greek society and education, providing a 30% discount on airline tickets for newly appointed and substitute teachers in the country this year. This action aims to facilitate the movement of teachers to their places of placement and assignment, effectively strengthening their important work.
In the academic year 2024-2025, more than 3400 teachers traveled with SKY express to every corner of Greece to their place of placement, making a total of approximately 10,000 trips. Education is a timeless priority for SKY express, which embraces this initiative again this year, confirming its commitment to supporting the country’s teachers and to substantially support the needs of Greek society.
Specifically, the company is offering a 30% discount on air tickets for newly appointed Primary and Secondary education teachers throughout the domestic network, facilitating their travel to and from the place of placement and assignment of duties.
At the same time, it is also a constant supporter and next to the country’s substitute teachers throughout the 2025-2026 academic year, providing a 30% discount on their travel to and from the place of assuming service, recognizing their decisive role in shaping the new generation.
SKY express warmly thanks the Ministry of Education for its trust and continuous cooperation, making the implementation of such a substantial social contribution possible.
The Minister of Education, Ms. Sofia Zacharaki, stated: “The practical support of our teachers is not only a moral duty, but also a recognition of their decisive role in the education and formation of the new generation. SKY express’s initiative to offer a discount on air tickets for teachers who will have to travel to take up service in various regions of the country is a substantial act of gratitude and contribution. I would like to warmly thank the company for this significant contribution to the strengthening and facilitation of the educational work.”
Gerasimos Skaltsas, Chief Commercial Officer of SKY express stated: “Supporting education is not an occasional action for us, but a firm commitment.
