message: I edited this page a lot. Something that still bugs me is the big paragraph, which is probably accurate but does not seem to have an NPOV. Comments? --Twinxor 02:07, 17 Sep 2004 (UTC)

message: There was a part of the article which misleadingly claimed that "Olympic's safety record is one of the best among European and North American airlines." I called the author's bluff, and followed his link only to find out, to my surprise, that in fact, Olympic's safety record is slightly below average, in comparison to European airliners, and not the other way around. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.92.229.85 (talk • contribs) 14:38, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

message: I would like something on how Onasis made the airline such a success.  His target customer in the 60's and early 70's.  OA was famed for its lavish upper class, the first airline to fly to all 5 continents, its exotic routes.  I would like to see how Onasis created such a wealthy and successful airline, what passengers ie upperclasses, foreign holidaymaker ect ect were OA's target customer and how perhaps the rise of the Junta and mass tourism helped OA rise to success. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Reaper7 (talk • contribs) 10:59, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

message: One editor made edits that New York-JFK, Montreal, and Toronto flights are ending September 30th but however Olympic Airlines' website still has these flights well bookable into October 23rd at the latest. Has this been confirmed? 74.183.173.237 (talk) 02:35, 29 August 2009 (UTC)

message: Would it not be better to start a new article for Olympic Air and leave behind the history and information on Olympic Airlines? MilborneOne (talk) 10:22, 18 September 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Great idea. This way the name and history of the old airline, which lasted for such a long time, will be preserved in one article. Dr.K. logos 13:27, 18 September 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Done, this article can now just discuss the older airline. MilborneOne (talk) 19:13, 18 September 2009 (UTC)

message: In the Former Fleet Table the six De Havilland Comet 4B's (DH106) are quoted to accomodate 147 passengers (1966) and 165 passengers (1968). That must be a mistake. The Maximum Payload of Comet 4B was 10,930 kg and 71 to 119 passenger, 71 in 3-class configuration, 101 in 2-class and 119 packed in 1-class. Olypic probably had a 3-class or 2-class configuration. 147 passengers equals a payload of 13,000 kg and 165 of more than 15,000 kg. Only a limited number of 4Bs were produced (18 according to Wikipedia) and Olympic shared the aircrafts with BEA, so presumeably same configuration as BEA had (cannot find any reference, but may have been same as Trident with 79, as 15 1st and 64 2nd). BEA Airtours later used second-hand ex-BEA de Havilland Comet series 4B aircraft seating 109 passengers in a single-class high-density configuration.

message: Describing a 1959 crash, the "locality of Klitys, on mount Parnitha" is referenced. As klitys (κλιτύς) is a Greek word for slope, is this an actual place name or, rather, a misunderstanding of a Greek text referencing just the slopes of mount Parnitha? --79.167.99.127 (talk) 23:33, 22 October 2018 (UTC)

message: There is no mention of the Avro 748 which Olympic had on lease from Avro between 16 Jun 1969 and 04 Oct 1969 for evaluation purposes.
