Helios Airways

Common card · No. 302211

Helios Airways was a Cypriot low-cost airline operating scheduled and charter flights between Cyprus and many European and African destinations. It had its corporate headquarters on the grounds of Larnaca International Airport in Larnaca, which was its main base. The deadliest aviation accident to take place in Greece, Helios Airways Flight 522, which crashed into a hillside in Grammatiko in 2005, began deteriorating the company's reputation. After the air carrier had changed name to Ajet, its services ceased on 7 November 2006 because the company's aircraft were detained, and its bank accounts were frozen by the government of Cyprus due to its poor reputation after the disaster.
