Although Covid-19 pandemic is not yet under control, with new variants (Delta and Omicron) prevailing, the economic impact was not as strong as in 2020 due to the non-reinstatement of drastic restrictive measures similar to those implemented during the first wave of the pandemic in 2020, i.e. extensive lockdowns and suspension or reduced operation of business sectors. The rate of recovery in developed economies in the world shows great degree of differentiation as a result of the different epidemiological conditions, vaccination progress and its country’s economy structure. Factors of uncertainty with regards to the economic recovery rate remain the emergence of new variants of Covid- 19, rising international prices in a variety of raw materials for goods and services, global supply chain disruption issues as well as the recent geopolitical crisis in Ukraine. Fiscal policy measures to support economic recovery are considered as a key element for as long as private consumption needs to recover to pre-pandemic levels. World GDP growth is estimated to have reached 5.5% in 2021 (-3.4% in 2020) while for 2022 is estimated to grow by 4.1%. GDP growth in Eurozone, according to provisional data, is estimated at 4.2% in 2021, supported by private consumption growth, higher investments and the allocation of EU funds from the Recovery and Resilience Plan to the member countries. In Greece, GDP growth rate reached 8.3% as a result of the gradual lifting of the restrictive measures from the second half of the year and the positive contribution of the tourism sector. Total consumer spending was increased by 8.8% compared with the fourth quarter in 2020, exports of goods and services increased by 24.1% while imports of goods and services increased by 33.2%. In Greece the Economic climate index strengthened and reached pre-pandemic levels in the 4 th quarter of the year, i.e. 112 points with the retail and services sector showing a significant recovery. Since March 2021 a significant increase in inflation rate was recorded, as a result of the increase in oil and gas prices internationally and supply disruptions in many products and raw materials, as well as the expansionary fiscal policy implemented by the Governments with the support of Central Banks worldwide. Continuous inflationary pressure sets the ground for reversing the expansionary policy and acceleration in the tapering of long-term assets purchases by Central banks and a rising interest rate environment. The commencement and the intensity of reducing market liquidity will determine the magnitude of economic growth. Consumer price index in December 2021 has increased by 5.1% in Greece y-o-y, compared to a decrease of 2.3% y-o-y that was recorded in December 2020. The table below presents forecast GDP growth rates according to European Commission and World Bank. GDP % 2020 2021 (est.) 2022 (forecast) 2023 (forecast) 11 Global -3,4 5,5 4,1 3,2 Eurozone -6,4 5,2 4,2 2,1 Greece -9,0 8,5 4,9 3,5 Data: European Commission- World Bank The price of oil in 2021 followed an upward trend from $51.80/bbl on 31.2.2020 to $77.78/bbl on 31.12.2021 with the average price reaching $70.95/bbl from $43.21/bbl in 2020. The average price of jet fuel (JET FOB MED) increased by 57% in 2021 compared with 2020. USD strengthened versus Euro to 1,1326 as at 31.12.2021 from 1,2271 as at 31.12.2020. Average Euro/USD rate in 2021 was 1,1827 from 1,1422 in 2020. Airline Sector Overview in Greece and Europe The outbreak of the Pandemic in 2020 caused and continues to be the strongest external shock that the airline industry has ever faced. Following the unprecedented challenges in 2020, which forced airlines to ground the vast majority of their fleet and led to almost a halt of airline activity, in 2021 the acceleration of the vaccination program and the implementation of green digital passport in Europe, has allowed the gradual lifting of travel restrictions 12 and therefore contributed in the improvement of the prevailing conditions for the industry. Although conditions have improved compared with 2020, airline activity remained at overall low levels, depicting a significant variation throughout the year, low load factors and finally loss-making overall results for the industry. According to Hellenic Civil Aviation Authority, Athens International Airport, Eurocontrol and ACI, monthly evolution in flights and passenger traffic in Greece and in Europe was as follows: European Airports Greek Airports AIA Fraport 2021 vs 2019 Flights % change Passengers % change Flights % change Passengers % change Flights % change Passengers % change Flights % change Passengers % change January -64% -77% -55% -82% -58% -83% -54% -82% February -66% -83% -57% -84% -58% -85% -55% -84% March -64% -82% -56% -84% -57% -85% -56% -83% April -64% -82% -63% -85% -59% -84% -70% -89% May -62% -78% -60% -79% -50% -75% -68% -85% June -50% -69% -42% -63% -31% -58% -44% -67% July -35% -64% -20% -33% -17% -38% -15% -33% August -29% -49% -8% -21% -13% -31% -4% -18% September -29% -50% -11% -26% -16% -34% -9% -23% October -25% -45% 0% -12% -13% -30% 5% -4% November -23% -39% -4% -24% -6% -27% -2% -22% December -22% -37% -5% -29% -7% -32% -1% -25% Total -44% -61% -28% -44% -30% -52% -25% -42% Source: Data processed by the Company. Note: Monthly percentage change in sector flown and passenger traffic compared to 2019. From the above data it is derived that the first half of 2021 started with low activity levels as recorded in the number of flights from/to the Greek airports which were 50-60% lower and in passenger traffic which was 70-80% lower compared with 2019. Similar was the trend in European Airports as well. From June 2021 and essentially from the end of the second lockdown, there was a gradual recovery in passenger traffic. However, after the outbreak of Omicron variant in mid- November, this recovery pace was halted and has created a new uncertainty as well as the re-imposition of restrictive measures. In 2021 passenger traffic in all European Airports reached 40% of the relative traffic recorded in 2019, while flights reached 56% of the respective level in 2019. According to IATA, in 2021 yields recorded a 2.0% increase after a fall of 8.8% recorded in 2020 but remain 7.0% less compared to pre-pandemic levels. The industry in 2021 has managed to reduce the losses recorded in 2020 totaling $118 bil. (from gains of $26 bil. in 2019) to losses of $52bil. Greece emerged as a safe destination and managed to upgrade its position compared with competing countries in 2021, with demand remaining strong during summer months but also attracting more capacity from other airlines too. It is noteworthy that the seats capacity offered in Greece in the second half reached 92% of the respective capacity offered in 2019 while passenger traffic was close to 76%. Capacity and passenger traffic stood at 73% and 52% of 2019 levels, respectively, in total in European airports. 13 Regional Greek airports have recorded the biggest recovery rate in international passengers during the summer months in which international traffic ranged from -20% to +7% in October. Despite the intense seasonality in the fourth quarter and the outbreak of Omicron variant, traffic in regional airports recorded a greater recovery rate compared with Athens and Thessaloniki airports. Given the circumstances and unfavorable conditions due to the pandemic, load factors reached lower levels compared with 2020. In total in 2021 total capacity was 28% less compared with 2019 while total passenger traffic was 44% less compared with 2019. In 2021, domestic passengers at all Greek airports, according to Hellenic Civil Aviation Authority data, fell 39% in 2021 compared to 2019, while international passengers fell 46% compared to 2019. Therefore, the main trends that emerged in the second half of 2021, when the pandemic conditions allowed it, were the faster recovery of passenger traffic in Greece compared to the rest of Europe, solely due to touristic flows and the faster recovery in the regional island destinations compared with city tourism. In addition, passengers selections criteria are focusing even more to quality. According to IATA estimates, in 2022 the total number of passengers in Europe is expected to reach round 86% of 2019 figures. The Group in 2021 Business Developments 14 The pandemic continued to affect AEGEAN’S flight activity in 2021. However, a significant recovery was visible during 2021 in both operational and financial data of the Group, especially from the beginning of the summer season onwards, mainly due to the acceleration of the vaccination roll-out, lower infection rates and the lifting of travel restrictions, which had a positive impact on travel demand. 2021 started with the same trends that prevailed since autumn 2020 due to the outbreaks of pandemic. The restrictive measures imposed during the second lockdown in November and were in force for most part of the first half of the year in both Greece and the rest of Europe have affected the Group’s activity which overall stood at low levels. Since June, with the gradual lifting of travel restrictions, passenger traffic has shown signs of recovery. However, Omicron variant from mid-November, has affected demand and created a new uncertainty for the airline sector. The Group during the summer period, despite the overall increased capacity in the market, managed to recover 65% of passenger traffic compared to 2019, offering 78% of its flight activity compared to 2019 levels. Group’s activity had significant fluctuations during the year, so necessary adjustments were made due to the different pandemic conditions. he Group carried 7.2 million passengers, 39% more than in 2020, having recovered 48% of 2019 passenger traffic, 55% recovery in the domestic network and 43% in its international network. The fastest recovery in the second half of the year was recorded mainly from Western European markets, namely Germany, France and Belgium. In contrast, traffic to/from Scandinavia, Great Britain and Eastern Europe was significantly lower than the corresponding pre-pandemic levels. Load Factor stood at 66%, 19p.p. lower than in 2019. Consolidated revenues rose significantly compared to 2020 and amounted to € 672.1 million, i.e. 51% of 2019 consolidate revenues. 15 1 st quarter 2021 2 nd quarter 2021 3 rd quarter 2021 4 th quarter 2021 Total 2021 Revenues (in mil. €) 44,3 108,6 333,9 188,0 674,8 Passengers ('000) 460 1.190 3.318 2.226 7.194 Domestic Passengers ('000) 251 667 1.527 1.002 3.447 International Passengers ('000) 209 523 1.791 1.224 3.747 Available Seats 1.059 2.148 4.640 3.305 11.153 ASKs 869 1.805 4.823 3.329 10.826 Total Sectors Flown 7.883 15.022 30.496 20.942 74.343 Load Factor 47% 56% 70% 69% 66% % vs 2019 % vs 2020 1 st quarter 2021 2 nd quarter 2021 3 rd quarter 2021 4 th quarter 2021 Total 2021 1 st quarter 2021 2 nd quarter 2021 3 rd quarter 2021 4 th quarter 2021 Total 2021 Revenues (in mil. €) -74% -69% -35% -33% -49% -70% 169% 115% 155% 62% Passengers ('000) -82% -70% -36% -34% -52% -78% 263% 70% 190% 39% Domestic Passengers ('000) -78% -60% -29% -28% -45% -74% 175% 43% 165% 29% International Passengers ('000) -85% -77% -41% -38% -57% -82% 513% 103% 215% 49% Available Seats -66% -55% -22% -17% -38% -63% 207% 62% 143% 43% ASKs -71% -65% -24% -20% -42% -69% 307% 81% 153% 50% Total Sectors Flown -60% -52% -23% -17% -36% -58% 164% 52% 112% 37% Load Factor -34,8pp -26,3pp -17,4pp -17,0pp -19,3pp -28,5pp 5,0pp 4,6pp 10,9pp -1,9pp As at 31.12.2021, the Group's fleet was 65 aircraft (of which 50 jets and 15 turboprops). The Group in 2021 has delivered of one Airbus A321 neo aircraft and one ATR 72-600 aircraft. 16 In total, the Company has delivered 9 new Airbus A320neo family aircraft since the end of 2019. In 2021 the Company has increased its shareholding participation in Animawings, in Romania, from 25% to 51% and will overtime manage the airline contributing its expertise to further strengthen its operational activities. Aegean’s sharholding participation was initiated in early 2020, with the acquisition of a 25% of the airline, established by Memento Group (Christian Tour). The total investment for the 51 % stake in Animawings amounts to 1,3 million euro. Impact of the pandemic, measures taken to address the pandemic crisis and planning The pandemic, which began in late 2019 and spread to Europe and Greece in early 2020, is the strongest external shock the industry has ever faced. The main impact of the pandemic on the Group was the drastic decline in demand for commercial flights due to the impact that the pandemic had on the demand for both leisure and business travel planning as well as the unprecedented restrictive measures imposed by the governments to control the pandemic during 2020 and 2021. The acceleration in the vaccination program and the implementation of the green digital passport have contributed to the improvement of the conditions while significantly reducing the pervasive uncertainty that had negatively affected consumer behavior. From June 2021, after the easing of the restrictive measures, there was a significant increase in the Group's bookings, with capacity and flight activity recovering, however significantly deviating from the pre-pandemic levels. From the beginning of 2020 and throughout 2021, the Group acted immediately to mitigate the impact of the pandemic on all axes of its business operation: Implementation of the necessary procedures to protect the health of its passengers and employees; Flexible and dynamic network management in order to adapt efficiently to volatile market conditions; Ongoing negotiations with main suppliers and counterparties to achieve cost reduction, flexibility and adaptability in the volatile market environment. Utilization of the horizontal measures offered by the Greek state to support the employees and the companies; Cash and capital shielding. Group’s main concern since the beginning of this unprecedented crisis has been the protection of the health of passengers and crews. In close cooperation with the health authorities, the Group, observing all the health protocols, applied new enhanced hygiene and safety measures at each stage of the trip and adapted cleaning and disinfection procedures of the aircraft. It is a fact that this effort brought a significant distinction for the Group in 2021 for the hygiene and protection measures applied by the international aviation evaluation organization Skytrax, which ranked AEGEAN among the leading airlines in the world. 17 The systematic cost savings of all categories and mainly in fixed expenses in order to shield the Group has been a key concern for the Management since the beginning of this crisis. In addition, the Group in 2021 continued to use the horizontal measures offered by the Greek State, mainly in terms of supporting employment and the "Syn- ergasia" program based on business needs. The Group has reported a heavily loss-making year as a result of the pandemic and its unprecedented serious consequences. The Group during the first half of the year completed its actions for the Company’s share capital increase in accordance with art. 30 of L. 4772/2021 to meet the conditions for the payment of the state aid. More specifically on June 2021 the share capital increase by payment of cash and with pre-emptive rights in favor of the existing shareholders, was completed, by raising funds of €60.000.000 through the exercise of pre-emptive rights and pre- subscription rights. As a result, the Company’s share capital increase was increased by €12.187.500 through the issuance of 18.750.000 new common registered voting shares with a nominal value of €0,65 each. An amount equal to EUR 47.812.500 was credited to the “Reserve from the issuance of shares above par” account. The share capital of the Company amounted to €58.608.615 and was divided into 90.167.100 new common registered voting shares, with a nominal value of €0,65 each. The verification of the share capital increase from the Board of Directors took place on 14.06.2021. The Listing and Market Operation Committee of the Athens Exchange during its meeting held on 15.06.2021 approved the listing for trading of the 18.750.000 New Shares in the main market of the Athens Exchange with a nominal value of €0,65 each. The commencement of the trading of the new shares was set on 16.06.2021. Following the completion of the share capital increase through which total funds of €60m were raised and verified by the Board of Directors on June 14th, 2021, a grant of €120m was disbursed on July 2nd, 2021 by the Hellenic Republic as a compensation to the Company for the losses suffered by the coronavirus outbreak, in accordance with the provisions of article 30 of Law 4772/2021 and the joint Ministerial decision by the Ministers of Finance and Transport & Infrastructure (FEK B’ 2231/28.05.2021). Given the grant disbursement, the Company issued and delivered warrants without consideration to the Hellenic Republic as per article 30 of Law 4772/2021 and article 56 of Law 4548/2018 and a relevant contract will be signed. More specifically, 10,369,217 warrants will be issued, each warrant providing the right to purchase one new common registered share of nominal value of €0.65, at an exercise price of €3.20 per share, which can be exercised between 03.07.2023 and 03.07.2026, whilst the Company retains a call option to buy back the warrants at their market value. In terms of liquidity management, in the beginning of this crisis, as in all previous years, the Group had a strong liquidity position. In order to further shield its liquidity, the Group secured a working capital financing line of €120 million, which after an agreement with the 4 Greek systemic banks in April 2021, was replaced and extended with a Bond Loan of the same amount up to 30.09.2022. By the end of 2020, the Company had made use of this credit amounting to € 92 million. In July 2021, it prepaid the bond loan amounting to €92 million through repurchase of the bonds, thus maintaining the total credit line of €120 mil. until 30.09.2022. The Company signed on 13.4.2021 an agreement to modify the program of the common bond loan amount of € 200,000,000 (the "Code") with the Representative of the Bondholders, pursuant to 30/3/2021 decision of the 18 Bondholders' Meeting, which partially changes the use of funds raised as well as changes in the periods of measurement of finances indicators. Regarding the Group’s investment program for the fleet renewal at the beginning of the crisis an extension in the delivery schedule until 2026 was agreed with Airbus in order to shield liquidity and to adapt available capacity in the volatile conditions that the pandemic has created, maintaining though the initial plan of 46 Airbus A320neo faily aircraft deliveries. Within 2021, an amendment in the delivery schedule was agreed, maintaining the deliveries schedule until 2026, but re-profiling deliveries in order to accelerate the deliveries for the next two years, in the context to exploit the benefits that the new Airbus A320 neo family aircraft bring. In addition, the Company has exercised its right to convert 6 aircraft from A320 neo to A321 neo type. After the above-mentioned change, AEGEAN’s total neo fleet will consist of 26 A320 neo and 20 A321 neo aircraft. The Group has also proceeded with its turboprop’s fleet restructuring. The Group has agreed the early termination and the redelivery to the lessor of the 8 Q400 aircraft. The initial lease agreements were expiring in June 2023 and with the new agreement all 8 Q400 aircraft will be redelivered within the first half of 2022. At the same time, the Group has entered into an agreement for the purchase of three ATR72-600 type aircraft, one of which has already been delivered and the other two are expected to be delivered within the first half of 2022. In addition, the Group has also agreed with lessors, the leases of 6 ATR72-600 aircraft with competitive terms, two of which have already been delivered and the rest are expected to be delivered within the first half of 2022. The impact of the pandemic in the forthcoming period cannot be accurately estimated. The conditions for a better business environment for the Group, are already visible from 2021 mainly due to the existence of effective vaccines, new drugs and diagnostic tests and after the demand recovery which was recorded during the summer season. According to IATA for the coming years, the intra-European market is expected to benefit from the preference of passengers for short and medium-haul travel as passenger confidence restores. Lifting all restrictive measures and returning to levels close to pre-pandemic normality will further facilitate and help to restore passengers confidence. The total number of passengers to/from and within Europe is expected to reach 86% of 2019 traffic while according to IATA full recovery (105%) is expected in 2024. In any case, and despite the apparent improvement in the outlook and dynamics of the summer of 2021, as pandemic conditions continue to exist, the course of the recovery cannot be estimated. Any new variants and outbreaks of the pandemic in combination with other exogenous factors may drastically change the demand environment. Group’s solid base , the adaptability, durability, performance and the adequacy of financial liquidity in parallel with the professionalism and the capabilities of the Group's employees are important competitive advantages that prove its strength and enable the prospects of a safe and sustainable development for the Group. Selected Consolidated Financial Information The following tables present the financial results of the Group, the Alternative Performance Indicators and the Operating Performance Indicators, which were calculated based on the consolidated financial statements for the years 2021 and 2020. 19 The Group analyzes the main financial data using Alternative Performance Measures (based on the ESMA Guidelines) used.

Following the lifting of restrictive measures and demand’s recovery, the Group has restored a significant part of its flight activity during the summer period. In particular, the Group recorded a significant increase of 62.6% in revenues, i.e. €674.828,30 thousand from €415.103,90 thousand in 2020. It is worth noting that 86% of total 2021 sales were made from June to the end of the year. The year started with very low activity, but from June there was a recovery in passenger traffic which was maintained until October. Omicron spread in mid-November halted this pace and created new uncertainty as well as the reimposing of new restrictive measures. Load factor stood at 65.5%, reduced by 2 percentage points compared to 2020, and significantly lower than 2019 levels. Revenue per Available Seat Kilometer (RASK) was €7.21 in 2021, significantly improved from 2020, and from 2019 which was set at €7.14 cents. Passenger yield showed a significant improvement from the levels of 2019 and amounted to €11.02 cents from €9.01 cents in 2020 and €8.42 cents in 2019. The improvement was achieved despite the reduction in load factor, due to the increased contribution of last-minute bookings as well as the sales mix with a greater contribution of comfort flex / flex fares. 21 The increase in Other operating income in 2021 is due to the payment of the Greek State aid for the partial compensation of the losses due to the pandemic for 2020, reduced by the fair value of the warrants given to the Greek State. The Group continued to use the horizontal measures adopted by the state mainly in programs supporting employment such as “Syn-Ergasia" program adjusted to the operational needs. Employment cost amounted to € 66.868,55 thous. from €79,900.20 thous. in 2020. The cost of consumption of goods and services excluding fuel cost increased by 23% and amounted to €399.344,52 thous. from €311.362,59 thous. in 2020, due to the increase of the flight activity. The cost of fuel amounted to € 134.241,20 thous., increased by 24% as a result of the increase of the fuel prices and the increase in the flight activity. The systematic reduction in fixed costs allowed to record profits before taxes, interest and depreciation (EBITDA), in 2021 amounting to €180.002,50 thous. CASK index (excluding fuel costs) stood at €6,06 cents from €8.67 cents in 2020, while taking into account fuel costs the index stood at €7.30 cents from €10.17 cents respectively. Finally, the non-occurrence of losses from ineffective derivatives which were recorded in 2020 due to the fleet grounding and low flight activity for a significant period of time, resulted in the reduction of losses before taxes in 2021, which amounted to €9.345,62 thous. from €296.813,57 in 2020. Net Debt (including IFRS 16 leases liabilities) amounted to €286.040,68 thous. on 31.12.2021 from €383.923,71 thous on 31.12.2020. Excluding IFRS 16 leases liabilities, the Group records net cash of €128.192,83 thousand on 31.12.2021 from €41.210,74 on 31.12.2020. Cash inflows from operating activities amounted to €211.463,27 thous. from outflows €104.335,52 in 2020. Within 2021 the Group paid €23,5 million for purchases and pre delivery payments of fixed assets and €71,4 million for future Pre Delivery Lease Payments. Cash and cash equivalent amounted to €454.880,96 thous. on 31.12.2021 from € 478.439,19 thous. on 31.12.2020. 22 - Prospects, Key Risks and Uncertainties. - Prospects and Strategy of the Group for 2022 The Omicron variant from mid-November 2021 has affected significantly demand, with the effects continuing to be evident in the first months of 2022, as both Greece and most countries in Europe reimposed restrictive measures due to the increase in Covid cases. From the beginning of 2022 until mid-March, the Group has offered 33% fewer seat capacity compared with 2019 capacity level, having made the necessary network adjustments. Passenger traffic was 49% lower than in 2019 with load factor at 63%. Flight activity was higher than in 2021, but low load factors are expected to have an impact on the Group’s financial performance in the first quarter of 2022. Despite the slow start due to the Omicron variant, the outlook for demand recovery, especially during the summer period, looks positive. As both Group’s activity and financial performance have recovered significantly in the third and most important quarter of 2021, , creating positive dynamics for the next year as well. This dynamic is also supported by the positive course of tourism in the country. Greece was one of the countries that prevailed in 2021 on the tourist map, further strengthening its position both in Europe and worldwide. Therefore, although in 2022 the industry is expected to operate for another year affected by the pandemic conditions, in the absence of any additional negative external factors, the management estimates that demand conditions in the summer will continue to follow the recovery path that began in 2021. The above-mentioned estimate is also based on the upward trend of pre-bookings recorded by the Group since the beginning of the year. On the other hand, as Greece has higher prospects for recovery than the rest of Europe, it is expected that other airlines will increase their seats capacity offering in Greece. In an highly competitive environment the strategic direction of the Company to invest in its product improvement and differentiation becomes even more important as the passengers’ preferences seem to upscale to higher quality and innovative services. Regarding the current developments that have emerged from the Russian invasion to Ukraine, it is clear that both aviation and tourism sectors are very sensitive to major changes in geopolitical and economic conditions. The immediate and obvious effects relate to the cancellation of flights to and from these markets, nevertheless their contribution in the overall flight activity for 2022 is not considered as material for the Group (less than 3% of total estimated passengers for 2022) and the whole market (2% of total passengers’ arrivals). However, the indirect potential consequences could include the worsening of the market conditions but at this stage it difficult to predict if and in which degree the passengers buying power or willingness to travel could be affected, taking also in consideration the increase in energy prices and the inflation increase. In addition to the above conditions that may affect the supply and demand environment of both the Group and the industry, 2022 is expected to be a transitional period regarding the restructuring of the fleet due to the expected delivery of a large number of Airbus A320 neo family aircraft (11 aircraft by the end of the year) and the restructuring of the turboprop fleet from Q400 to ATR72-600. The delivery of new more efficient aircraft is expected to help improve unit costs, especially from the first half of 2023, when most of the fleet will consist of aircraft of either new technology or with improved cost related terms agreed. 23 Undoubtedly, both the significant increase of the fuel price caused by the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the general inflationary pressures could affect the prospects of recovery of the Group and the industry in general. The Group uses a hedging policy to protect itself from increasingfuel prices in order to reduce the volatility of its financial results. In the midst of a volatile environment, the Group plans the gradual increase of the capacity from the end of March until the end of the summer period, with dynamic network management, depending on market conditions. As for the strategic direction of its network, most of the fleet (80%) will operate from the Athens, Thessaloniki and Larnaca airports with the remaining 20% capacity to be invested in regional airports. Investing in innovation will continue to be a strategic priority, aiming at the continuous improvement of the offered services and the travel experience. Risk factors that may affect the business and financial situation of the Group. • Outbreaks of COVID-19 or possible new mutations with consequent new travel restrictions may adversely affect tourism, aviation and the Group, • The aviation industry is highly seasonal and circular. Potential contraction of economic activity in the European economy and in Greece may negatively affect the tourism market and lead to a reduction in air traffic, • Geopolitical developments and turmoil in neighboring countries are an external unbalanced factor that may adversely affect demand, • Future oversupply in airline seats and intense competition could lead to a reduction in average revenue per passenger and reduced flight fullness, adversely affecting the Group's profitability, • Significant increases in fuel costs or a significant appreciation of the dollar against the euro may adversely affect the financial position and operating results of the Group, • Possible imposition of environmental taxes or other charges and inability to pass the cost on to the final consumer may adversely affect the Group. - Events After the Financial Year 2021 The Group has also proceeded with its turboprop’s fleet restructuring. The Group has agreed the early termination and the redelivery to the lessor of the 8 Q400 aircraft. The initial lease agreements were expiring in June 2023 and with the new agreement all 8 Q400 aircraft will be redelivered within the first half of 2022. At the same time, the Group has entered into an agreement for the purchase of three ATR72-600 type aircraft, one of which has already been delivered and the other two are expected to be delivered within the first half of 2022. In addition, the Group has also agreed with lessors, the leases of 6 ATR72-600 aircraft with competitive terms, two of which have already been delivered and the rest are expected to be delivered within the first half of 2022. The recent Russian invasion to Ukraine has caused the cancellation of all flights from / to these countries, nevertheless their contribution in the overall flight activity for 2022 is not considered as material for the Group (less than 3% of total estimated passengers for 2022) and the whole market (2% of total passengers’ arrivals) The potential additional impact could include the worsening of the market conditions but at this stage it difficult to predict if and in which degree the passengers buying power or willingness to travel could be affected, taking also in consideration the increase in energy prices and the inflation increase. 24 2.2 Key Risks and Risk Management Foreign Exchange Risk The Company incurs a substantial portion of its expenses, such as aviation fuel, aircraft lease expenses, distribution costs, spare parts, maintenance expenses and aviation insurance premiums in U.S. dollars, whereas it generates most of its revenue in euro. Appreciation of the Euro versus the U.S. dollar positively impacts Group operating profit as the euro equivalent of the U.S. dollar operating expenses decreases, while depreciation of the Euro versus the U.S. dollar negatively impacts the Group operating profit. Despite the foreign exchange risk hedging policies, substantially adverse movements of the U.S. dollar could potentially have a material negative impact on the business activity, the financial position and the operating results of the Group. At 31 December 2021, the Group entered into agreements to hedge the 31% and 30% of its estimated annual US dollar needs for 2022 and 2023, respectively. At 31 December 2020, the Group entered into agreements to hedge the 32%, 27% and 27% of its estimated annual US dollar needs for 2021, 2022 and 2023, respectively (future transactions). Note 3.23. Interest Rate Risk The Group is exposed to interest rate fluctuations risk through its bank deposits as well as through the aircraft leases agreed on a floating interest rate. The Group policy is to continuously monitor its exposure to cash flow risk from interest rate fluctuations relating to its aircraft leases. At 31 December 2021, the Group maintained its hedging accounting for covering its interest rate risk from eight (8) aircraft leases, expected to be delivered within the period 2022-2023. Note 3.23. Jet Fuel Risk The Group is exposed to the fluctuations of oil price which has a direct impact on the jet fuel price. To manage this risk, the Group enters into derivative agreements on oil products to hedge part of its projected jet fuel needs. At 31 December 2021, the Group maintained derivative contracts for the purchase of aircraft fuel covering 44% and 6% of the projected fuel needs for 2022 and 2023, respectively. At 31 December 2020 the Group maintained derivative contracts for the purchase of aircraft fuel covering 15% of the projected fuel needs for 2021. Note 3.23. 25 Credit Risk The Group monitors its trading receivables on a regular basis, to be protected against credit risk, and whenever needed, it assesses their timely collection. This risk in the current circumstances has not increased in relation to the past. Liquidity Risk The prudent management of liquidity risk supposes sufficient cash balances. The Group manages the risk by maintaining adequate cash and cash equivalents, securities of immediate liquidation and sufficient credit lines from the suppliers, always align to its operational, investment and financial needs.

In the second phase of the analysis, the Group, based on the GRI principles of Materiality and Stakeholder Inclusiveness, proceeded to prioritization of the topics identified during the first phase, by considering the following parameters: 1. Significance on the assessments and decisions of company’s stakeholders. 2. Significance on the economic, environmental and social impacts of the Group (impacts on wider economic, social and environmental level beyond impact on stakeholders). Questionnaires for the prioritization of sustainable development issues, were completed by the Group’s executives who had - through relevant consultation - adequate knowledge and understanding of needs and the expectations of those completing the questionnaire. In the last phase of the analysis, the results of the second phase were approved by the Senior Management of AEGEAN based on the GRI Standard principles of Completeness and Stakeholder Participation. 28 Through this analysis, completed within 2021 for the purposes of the 2020 AEGEAN Sustainable Development Report, the following 8 topics were prioritized as the most material and are presented in the Sustainable Development Report (pages 42-47): • Flight Safety • Business Continuity and Emergency Response • Climate Change and Greenhouse Gas Emissions • Corporate Governance, Regulatory Compliance, and Business Ethics • Social Contribution • Employment • Direct and Indirect Economic Value • Training and Development of Employees Sustainable Development Policy The Group has an Internal Operation Regulation which was revised as per the 14.07.21 decision of the Board of Directors and has the minimum content referred to in Article 6 of L. 3016/2002, as currently in force, and is in accordance with the company’s corporate governance statement and the Corporate Governance Code, adopted and applied by the company. Within the Internal Operation Regulation – a summary of which is published in the company’s official web site - the Sustainable Development Policy is included. The following diagram provides a description of how the Group transformed its business resources (inflows) into results (outflows), via the implementation of its business operations. 29 30 The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on non-financial issues AEGEAN: Contribution and commitment to common goals Throughout 2021 AEGEAN continued to implement enhanced health and safety measures applied since the beginning of COVID-19 pandemic, for the health protection of passengers and employees, which led to a significant distinction and great award by Skytrax - the international air transport rating agency and reference point for the industry- placing the airline among the top 4 carriers in the world to be certified with the 4 Star COVID-19 Airline Safety Rating. Action Plan “FREEDOM” PROGRAM Since the beginning of 2021, AEGEAN actively contributed to the “National Vaccination Program- Operation “Freedom”, by carrying throughout its domestic network vaccines, equipment and the necessary personnel. In total 717 flights were operated, and 786 complimentary tickets were issued. The airline contributed for the corresponding airport taxes as well. FREEDOM PASS In an effort to enable young people to travel in 2021, AEGEAN doubled the value of the pre-paid Freedom pass cards, whilst at the same time offered tripled Miles+Bonus miles for each ticket issued through the Freedom Pass. More specifically, for young people between 18 to 25 years old who received the pass until September 31 st 2021, AEGEAN added one extra euro for each euro spent to buy the ticket, thus doubling the value of the pass. In this way the airline contributed to the national effort by supporting of the vaccination program. PRECAUTIONARY TESTS FOR THE EMPLOYEES In 2021, more than 4,000 PCR and 20,000 antigen tests were completed for AEGEAN’s flight and ground personnel, exceeding the value of 400,000 euros. 31 Environmental issues Climate Change and Greenhouse Gas Emissions A responsible attitude towards the environment is a priority for the Group. An integral part of the Group’s overall policy is the full compliance and observance of the applicable legislative requirements in the conduct of any corporate activity, as well as the ongoing effort to improve its environmental performance in an effort to reduce its environmental footprint. The Group's management validates its commitment to protecting the environment through its environmental policy, which is not limited to the adoption of appropriate and best green practices, but extends to public- and employee-awareness campaigns as well as the support of bodies which are active in the environmental protection sector. Air transport contributes to 2% of total carbon dioxide emissions. Recognizing the impact of climate change as one of the biggest challenges for the global community, the Group launched an emission reduction program which start with action such as the reduction in fuel consumption, efficient operational and fleet management, recycling materials, reduce noise and replacement of the existing fleet with new A320neo and A321neo family aircraft. Impacts Due diligence policy and other policies Climate Change and Greenhouse Gas Emissions The Group systematically monitors energy consumption and the respective greenhouse gas emissions. Its goal is to improve the accuracy of the performance data, so that it has a comprehensive picture of its overall environmental footprint in order to identify areas of improvement. The Group records fuel consumption and the produced emissions based on the aircraft logbooks and with the help of the operational software systems. These procedures are in full compliance with the EU Emissions Trading System Directive (EU ETS Directive 2003/87/EC) and all subsequent updates and additions. To this end, the relevant reports and procedures are certified by the competent auditors who are registered with the European Register of Certificated Auditors and are accredited through the Hellenic Accreditation System (ESYD). The Group's efforts to reduce gaseous pollutants are governed by the following relationship which forms the basis of the Group's corporate strategy to reduce emissions of gaseous pollutants that are produced during a flight: Lower Fuel Consumption->Less Emissions of Air Pollutants->Smaller Environmental Impact. Flight Procedures The Flight Operations Department has adopted procedures which are recommended by International Organizations, the aircraft manufacturer (Airbus Green Operating Procedures) and the aviation industry, in collaboration with air traffic control, to improve fuel efficiency and reduce gas emissions. 32 Route Optimization Since 2014, the Group has improved its operational performances by using innovative flight planning software. This is a flight planning system of high precision which provides significant operational benefits, given that it calculates specific in-flight functions (e.g. optimum aircraft cruise altitude and speed for each route separately). Aircraft weight reduction To reduce aircraft weight, the Group has taken the following measures: • Investment in lighter and anatomical seats which have been installed in all A320 and A321 aircraft. • Investment in new, lighter trolleys which are used in all aircraft. • Conversion of all aircraft documents that are necessary for pilots and cabin crew into electronic format. Noise The activities of the aviation industry cause noise pollution from aircraft during various flight phases and during taxiing. Noise pollution has been linked to various health issues, while having negative effects on flora and fauna. The Company carries out a number of measures to reduce noise pollution that is caused by its corporate activity. In particular, it has replaced its aircraft with new ones that meet the requirements of the regulatory framework, while aircraft noise emission level is even lower that the strict requirements laid down by the ICAO. In addition, the crew fully complies with the airport instructions regarding landing and take-off routes, directions and angles in order to reduce the effects of noise impact on the environment. Lastly, further measures to reduce noise impact, such as the reduction of night flights, the use of specialized technology, satellite navigation systems, etc., are being considered. Waste All regulations and legislation laid down by the European Union and Greece on environmental protection and waste management are reviewed and integrated into the Group's policies and procedures, as well as its operational planning. The policy is not restricted to the adoption of indicated and best green practices, but extends to awareness campaigns for the public, employees, as well as the support of environmental protection bodies. The Company’s environmental compliance and environmental performance are certified in accordance with the international standard ISO14001:2021. 33 Biodiversity The Group supports the work of many environmental protection bodies, particularly with respect to injured wild animals that are transported for treatment. Main Risks Main risks and their management Deviations from the applicable legislation or amendments thereof, which are related to environmental issues or climate change The Group systematically monitors changes to legislation and takes measures in order to address any new requirements that may arise from these. Climate Change and Greenhouse Gas Emissions 1. Participation in Emission Marketing and Compensation Systems (EU-ETS, CORSIA, etc) The Group acquires the legally required gaseous emission permits and purchases additional permits for its flight operations. At the same time, it has developed and implemented the appropriate infrastructure for monitoring emissions and the submission of reports. AEGEAN participates in the European Emissions Trading Scheme (EU ETS), the Swiss Emissions Trading Scheme (CH ETS) and the United Kingdom Emissions Trading Scheme (UK ETS). From 2019, the carbon dioxide emissions regarding the fleet must also be submitted to the competent authorities (Office Civil Aviation) under the CORSIA (Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation). 2. Fleet renewal with new engine technology aircraft The company continues to deliver A320neo aircraft with Pratt & Whitney GTF engines. The engine’s new technology result in a 15% reduction per flight in fuel consumption and 19% -23% less carbon dioxide emissions, per passenger seat, in relation to Airbus ceo aircraft previous generation. At fleet level, the above pollutant levels correspond to a C Ο 2 reduction of almost 50% per seat, compared to AVRO RJ100 aircraft operated by the company in 1999. AEGEAN closely monitors the medium-long-term technological developments concerning next- generation aircraft, which will make use of more environmentally friendly fuels, such as hydrogen and/or use of electricity. Flight procedures AEGEAN continues to implement flight optimization procedures (Route Optimization), as well as fuel saving practices, in particular during landing and take-off, which are associated with increased fuel consumption. Planning and 34 efficient flight schedule is also of great importance, as it contributes to a higher on-time performance, which is also associated with emissions reduction. Systematic weight monitoring of aircraft is also an important parameter in the saving effort as well as the introduction of new maintenance practices of the aircraft. To achieve much of the above goals, the company relies on the extensive use of digital tools and gives great importance to innovation and development of digital solutions. The company expects that there will also be significant benefits from air traffic control optimization programs in progress from EUROCONTROL such as the SESSAR program. 3. Sustainable Aviation Fuels and synthetic low polluting fuels The Company is considering the use of sustainable aviation fuel on its aircraft. It has already secured with Pratt & Whitney the possibility of using sustainable HEFA type fuels in Airbus A320 aircraft and studies their feasibility at airports in Greece and Europe. In 2021, AEGEAN operated the first flight with sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) for the transport of a new aircraft, without passengers, from the AIRBUS plant to Greece, as the new aircraft for this flight used a mixture of sustainable aviation fuel, with conventional. With this symbolic move, AEGEAN is taking an important step towards more green and environmentally sustainable aviation. Noise AEGEAN implements a series of measures for the reduction of noise pollution caused by its activity. Specifically, the new A320neo aircraft family reduces the noise footprint of almost 50% compared to previous generation aircraft, with direct positive impact on both passengers and airports. Moreover, we fully comply with airport recommendations regarding take-off and landing routes, directions and angles, in order to minimize the noise impact on the environment. Limited waste disposal sites mainly from the aircrafts’ maintenance and repair site The Group continues to strictly observe the proper waste management policy. With respect to recycling, the Group has designed and implemented a pioneering in-flight recycling program, which includes the separation of materials into four types. On the ground, every effort is made to minimize the consumption of disposables, and for the recycling of waste wherever possible. With reference to organic waste, a composting program is implemented by the Group in collaboration with the Athens International Airport and the end product is used to fertilize the AIA areas. With respect to hazardous waste, the nature of the Group's operations dictates the use of a number of chemicals, which are governed by strict frameworks that ensure proper management from start to finish. 35 Social and labor issues Flight Safety Business Continuity and Emergency Response Quality product and passenger care Development of local communities and enhancement of the Greek tourism product Social Contribution Employment Training and Development of Employees Diversity, Equal Opportunities and Human Rights Our network development and management is inextricably linked with our financial performance and has a direct impact not only on the company’s sustainable development, but also on the state and contributes, inter alia: a) to the national economy through increased inbound tourism, b) to the creation of direct and indirect employment, c) to innovation and infrastructure through the development of new air transport services and products.

Main Risks Main risks and their management Failure to timely determine and manage risks due to changing conditions In the context of contributing to the ongoing improvement of the organization's level of safety, formal risk identification and risk assessment procedures are conducted. This involves the systematic review of business activities and procedures that carry a potential risk. The objective is to quantify the operational risk, to determine risk acceptance and to develop the appropriate and effective safeguards that are deemed necessary for the proper management of recognized risks at an acceptable level. The risk identification and assessment procedure follows a methodology that stems from various sources. Through the scheduled meetings of the company's responsible employees, the analysis of the incident reporting system, the monitoring of flight data, as well as the monitoring of trends (as these arise from the data analysis), it is possible for risks to be identified, which subsequently require a more detailed analysis. 41 In addition, the Group's human resources are the substantial source of information for potential risks that may affect the Group’s smooth operation. In the context of the Safety Management System, the Company has created an Incident Reporting System. The safety information is collected, analyzed and assessed by the safety management team. Consequently, this procedure helps arriving at conclusions that are able to produce objectives for achieving the common goal, which is to maximize the organization’s level of safety. At the same time, the company’s written commitment supports the justice policy by encouraging employees to report operational risks without being held accountable. of safety issues, which ensures that employees are able to perform safety management tasks in accordance with applicable regulations, is an important factor for the prevention and effective management. Training is adapted according to responsibility and participation in the safety management system of each group that it addresses. Emergency response training The nature and the operational activities of the group, impose the development of specific measures and actions in order to maintain business continuity to the highest possible level. The group has developed contingency management plans that describe the responsibilities and necessary actions of the executive members involved. Emergency training includes training for: a) emergency response situations and b) unusual situations. The objective of the plan and the respective training, is to familiarize the involved parties with their role and what is expected in an emergency situation. Security threats and breaches in cyberspace, databases and software systems The Group’s business activity faces significant external threats, both in cyberspace and possible internal breaches of databases and software systems. The Group’s data and systems may be vulnerable to theft, payment fraud, loss, damage and termination due to unauthorized access, security breaches, cyberspace attacks, computer viruses, power loss or other catastrophic events. A possible electronic security breach could have a negative impact on the customers’ trust towards the Group and lead to flight disruption, negatively affecting its reputation. A risk plan with the respective safeguards per risk is prepared and evaluated on an annual basis aimed at their adequate management. Particular emphasis is 42 placed on preventive safeguards aimed at preventing the occurrence of a potential risk. Information systems disaster recovery plan During the last 2 years, the company has started a new project regarding the design and implementation of a recovery plan (DR - Disaster Recovery). The plan concerns the process of restoring IT systems and infrastructure after a partial or total disaster (natural or voluntary) and is an integral part of the business continuity of the company. Information security and data protection In order to continuously upgrade the level of information security and data protection, the company in 2019 created a special committee in which the participated parties are the Cyber Security Governance Board - (CSGB) as well as the subgroups Cyber Security Senior Management Team (CSSMT) and Security Operations Center (SOC), with the sole purpose of the smooth and safe operation of the systems. Personal Data Protection A large percentage of direct sales comes from the internet. Consequently, our customer/passenger privacy and the safety of their personal information is a priority of utmost importance. We have invested in processes and systems that protect the privacy of personal information and transactions. In order to offer secure transactions to the passengers that choose to issue their tickets by using a credit card (web site, call center), we created in 2008 the Fraud Prevention Department which aims to: • Safeguard credit card holders from suspicious transactions. • Protect the public from suspicious travel agencies. The Fraud Prevention Department also includes Frequent Flyer Fraud prevention/loyalty fraud, which aims to make good use of the AEGEAN - Miles+Bonus reward program - and to prevent any informal action. The company is in full compliance with the PCI-DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard). This standard is required by credit card companies and its specifications apply to all organizations that store, process or transmit card data. The company is subject to continuous checks on the completeness, security and systemic integrity of its IT infrastructure to ensure full protection of the passengers’ card data. On the website of our company ( https://en.about.aegeanair.com/corporate- governance/personal-data-protection/ ) the policy related to Personal Data Protection is available. 43 Labor issues Employment/ Employee Training and Development /Diversity, Equal Opportunities and Human Rights The Group acknowledges that its employees represent the most significant and valuable capital and the driving force behind its successful business operation and growth.

The company has been successfully certified with the international standard ISO 45001:2018. Employee Training and Development Through its history of operation, part of the Group's strategy has been to enhance and develop the competitiveness of its employees through appropriate professional training and technical expertise. Training needs arise in areas of knowledge, skills, experience or even personal abilities, which are presented as workplace behaviours. 44 In the context of developing its human resources, the Group provides a range of training programs to foster employees' professional competences. As a consequence, it creates a positive impact by forming aworking environment, that recognizes contribution and supports the continuous development of each employee. Main Risks Main risks and their management Indirect or direct accident risks and non-accident risks 1 The Group has proceeded with the rigorous implementation of safety systems and metrics in order to assess their impact on the human body, but also to identify the needs for intervention in all workplaces. Continuous progress and improvement are linked both to the preventive actions it takes and the experiences the Group derives from any incident and near accident. Staff training is of vital importance in maintaining and further developing an accident prevention culture. The promotion of the health and safety of staff and partners is holistically ensured through the Health and Safety Management System, but also through individual measures and actions such as: • Design and implementation of appropriate protective means and measures, particularly in the aircraft maintenance area. • Continuous review of all of the Company’s activities, aimed at identifying potential risks, in order for appropriate measures to be taken. • Implementation of examinations and preventive medicine programs for all staff. • Implementation of vaccination program. • Formation and training of First Aid and Fire Protection Teams. • Conduct of specialized health and safety awareness and training programs to promote an accident prevention and safe work culture. 1 Occupational risks are classified based on whether or not the risk results in an accident (Accident and Non-Accident Risks) with the former being divided into Indirect or Direct Accident Risks. Indirect Accidental Risks create the conditions that lead to an accident and include layout, functionality, access - evacuation, environment lighting and temperature of the workplace. Direct Accidental Risks lead to an accident and include natural , chemical and biological factors . Non-Accidental Risks do not lead to an accident, but have a short- term and long-term effect on the employee’s mental and physical health. 45 Respect for human rights Diversity, Equal Opportunities and Human Rights The Group takes into consideration the entire applicable law with respect to the fundamental principles as defined in the International Labor Organization’s Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work.

Protection of personal data The protection of personal data is a legal obligation of the Company, but also an essential component that lays the foundation for establishing relationships of trust with customers. The Company processes personal data in the lawful manner, regarding the rules of confidentiality and the rights of data subjects. The Company’s employees have been informed and are aware of the framework for data protection, both through training and daily work, which contributes to the processing of personal data with the utmost care and confidentiality. 46 Regulation (EU) 2016/679 on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data and Law 4624/2019 on the protection of personal data: The protection of natural persons in relation to the processing of personal data is a fundamental right and every natural person has the right to the protection of personal data concerning him or her. The regulation lays down new data and requirements which the Group is required to respond to and comply with. The Group invested in a software platform for the best management of information systems and databases related to the protection of personal data. Main Risks Main risks and their management Safeguarding of human rights in the workplace Through training seminars, the Group and primarily the Human Resources Department, promote the principles of equal treatment, the respect of human rights, diversity and the provision of equal opportunities to all its employees and zero tolerance to child or force labor. In addition, the Group has established a channel of communication with the Internal Control Department, ensuring the anonymity of the complaint with respect to the reporting of incidents that pose a risk or violate basic human rights principles. Contracts that are concluded by the Group include terms for compliance with applicable national laws and regulations. In addition, there is an explicit provision to ensure the protection of human rights. The Group has an Internal Operation Regulation which was revised as per the 14.07.21 decision of the Board of Directors and has the minimum content referred to in Article 6 of L. 3016/2002, as currently in force, and is in accordance with the company’s corporate governance statement and the Corporate Governance Code, adopted and applied by the company.

Information security and data protection The Group updated the procedures that are related to the management of personal data in accordance with the requirements that stem from the general data protection regulation and Greek legislation. The Group purchased software that helps automate the management of personal data of the public. Moreover, it has taken a number of technical and organizational measures such as limiting software access and database encryption. 47 Safeguarding Human Rights in our Business Operation The protection of human rights is a key issue in the training of personnel , as well as partners, providers of ground services on safety issues, travel document checks and vigilance. Training is carried out with a view to ensuring equality for every passenger, equal treatment and preventing any racist behavior. An important part of the training is the verification of travel documents, in the context of preventing the movement of illegal passengers and particularly the illegal movement of children and persons under forced conditions (trafficking). In 2021, we prevented over 24,000 cases of passenger travelling with travel documents of dubious authenticity, to the destination they were attempting to reach. 48 Combating corruption and bribery-related issues Corporate Governance, Regulatory Compliance and Business Ethics The Group recognizes that the phenomena of corruption, bribery andfraud undermine the Company's ethical environment and may result in the violation of human rights, the distortion of competition, the obstruction in the distribution of its financial resources and financial development.

The Group has zero tolerance regarding corruption and bribery and no such case has ever been reported. However, we are continuing our efforts and taking action to ensure that this will not change. Our daily functions are based on the principles of ethics, transparency and open procedures. In addition, as it is mentioned above, the Procurement Code of Ethics regarding the Group's expectations from its suppliers, is applied. In the context of adequate risk management, the Group has adopted a number of measures that focus on security issues and access to information systems, the adequate allocation of employee duties, approval limits, complete transparency in procurements, protection of corporate assets, assurance of transactions and protection of personal data. Main Risks Main risks and their management Any deviation from the principles and the ethics of the Group places its reputation and credibility at risk The Group applies systems and controls at preventative and detection level to ensure the proper selection of suppliers, the avoidance of disputed payments, the correctness of payments, as well as their accurate and transparent recognition in the books of the Group of companies. The code of conduct of suppliers and partners foresees the encountering of corruption and bribery conditions in the supply chain. 49 Supply chain issues Evaluation of Suppliers/Partners The Group has a long list of suppliers, who play a decisive role in its effective operation. The Group’s suppliers are significant interested parties for the achievement of the business objectives that will ensure its sustainable development and by extension its competitiveness which not only affect the financial performance of the Group, but also its relationships with all the interested parties.

The Group systematically monitors and objectively assesses its suppliers with respect to their contractual and ethical obligations. In addition, the procurement department staff are responsible for observing and applying the principles of the code of conduct that underpin their relationship. The Group’s code of conduct for suppliers sets the minimum ethical standards and responsible behaviour that must be observed by suppliers that collaborate with the Group during its normal course of business. The Group collaborates with suppliers that conform to the Code's requirements. The provisions of the Code are disclosed to prospective suppliers during their evaluation and if a collaboration agreement is achieved, the suppliers are bound in writing to comply with them.

In order to meet the emission targets, EU through the “Taxonomy Regulation” (EU 220/852) established the framework for the creation of the EU Taxonomy of environmentally sustainable economic activities. The EU Taxonomy requires Financial Market Participants, subject to the Regulation, to disclose how and to what extent their activities are associated with environmentally sustainable economic activities. The EU Taxonomy Regulation establishes six environmental objectives: 1. Climate change mitigation 2. Climate change adaptation 3. The sustainable use and protection of water and marine resources 4. The transition to a circular economy 5. Pollution prevention and control 6. The protection and restoration of biodiversity and ecosystems Article 8 of the EU Taxonomy regulation brings an obligation for a Public Interest Entity report the proportion of their 2021 economic activities that are considered Taxonomy-eligible to report a)the proportion of their turnover derived from products or services associated with economic activities that qualify as environmentally sustainable under Articles 3 and 9; and (b) the proportion of their capital expenditure and the proportion of their operating expenditure related to assets or processes associated with economic activities that qualify as environmentally sustainable under Articles 3 and 9. The Taxonomy regulation includes the sectors assessed to have the largest climate change mitigation and adaptation potential. The economic activity derived from aviation services is not considered taxonomy eligible and therefore the company declared that in fiscal year 2021 there are no eligible activities classified in EU Taxonomy. 51 The below table presents the financial figures of the Group activities that are eligible classified in EU Taxonomy, as well as those activities that are not eligible, for the year ended December 31, 2021: Climate sustainable activities (eligible in EU Taxonomy) % Group Revenue % Group Operating expenses Group Capitalised expenses Group activities eligible classified in EU Taxonomy 0% 0% 0% Group activities not eligible classified in EU Taxonomy 100% 100% 100% Total 100% 100% 100% This section is included for the first time in the non-financial reporting of the Annual Financial Report 2021, following the provisions of EU regulations 2020/852, 2021/2178 and the announcements 2615 / 10.11.2021 and 209 / 31.01.2022 of the Hellenic Capital Market Commission. In this regard, the Company interpreted the relevant directives and as the legislation governing the EU Taxonomy is constantly evolving, it monitors any changes in order to properly adapt its approach and the respective disclosures. 52 Results of the above policies and non-financial performance indicators Environmental ID ESG ATHEX 1 31.12.2021 31.12.2020 Direct emissions (Scope 1) 2 (CO 2 ) in tons 3 C-E1 731.046 517.774 Indirect emissions (Scope 2) 4 (CO 2 ) in tons 3 C-E2 1.982 2.107 Consumption for the whole company Total energy consumption (TJ) 10.179 7.214 Total energy consumption (MWh x 10 6 ) C-E3 2.827 2,004 Fuel consumption (%) 99.87% 99.81% Electricity consumption (%) C-E3 0.13% 0.19% Total 100% 100% Energy consumption from non-renewable sources (%) 100% 100% Energy consumption from renewable sources (%) C-E3 0% 0% Total 100% 100% 1 ESG Information Disclosure Guide of the Athens Stock Exchange (where C: Core Metrics, Α : Advanced Metrics, SS: Sector Specific Metrics) https://www.athexgroup.gr/el/web/guest/esg-reporting-guide 2 This refers to carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from the fuel consumption of the aircraft fleet, car fleet and gas consumption in the company's premises 3 Emissions intensity (CO2 ) will be published in Company’s Sustainability Report 2021 4 This refers to carbon dioxide (CO2 ) emissions from electricity consumption in the company's premises. 53 Social ID ESG ATHEX 31.12.2021 31.12.2020 Stakeholder engagement C-S1 Yes Yes Female employees C-S2 54% 52% Employee turnover C-S4 Employee voluntary turnover rate C-S4 7,10% 3,85% Employee involuntary turnover rate C-S4 0,50% 5,70% Human rights policy C-S6 Yes Yes Collective bargaining agreements C-S7 100% 100% Employee training expenditure A-S2 €3.291,66 K €2.517,07 K Labour law violations SS-S4 No No Customer satisfaction SS-S8 Yes Yes Customer grievance mechanism SS-S9 Yes Yes Governance ID ESG ATHEX 31.12.2021 31.12.2020 Board composition C-G1 Yes Yes Sustainability oversight C-G2 Yes Yes Materiality C-G3 Yes Yes Sustainability policy C-G4 Yes Νο Business ethics policy C-G5 Yes Yes Data privacy policy C-G6 Yes Yes Data security policy Α-G1 Yes Yes Critical risk management SS-G2 Yes Yes Information regarding the above metrics and policies are also available in the Corporate Governance Statement in the Board of Directors report. 54 2.4 Statement of Corporate Governance The Board of Directors of the Company declares that the Company has adopted and fully complies with the existing corporate governance legislative framework in force in Greece and, in particular, according to the Articles 1-24 of L.4706/2020, the L. 4548/2018, the provisions of article 44 of L. 4449/2017 (Audit Committee) as it was amended by the article 74 of L.4706/2020 and the decisions, circulars and the guidelines of the Capital Market Commission, as currently in force. In this context, the Company by decision of the General Assembly of its shareholders dated 14 July 2021, has amended and updated its internal regulation as it was initially approved by the Board of Directors’ Decision dated 31.03.2007 and revised by the Board of Directors’ decision dated 31.08.2018. In the company’s internal regulation are included above else, the organizational structure, its committees and its units, the characteristics of the System of Internal Controls as well as the procedures and policies the company has implemented. The summary of the company’s internal regulation is made public in the company’s website, according to article 14 paragraph 2. section b’ of the L.4706/2020. In addition, with the Board of Directors’ decision dated 14.07.2021, the company has adopted and implements the new Corporate Governance Code, dated June 2021, that has been prepared by the Hellenic Corporate Governance Council which is a respected authority according to the article 17 L.4706/2020 and the decision 916/7.6.2021 of the Board of Directors of the Capital Market Commission (hereinafter referred to as the “Code”). This Code can be found at the website of the Hellenic Exchanges S.A. Group at the following address: https://www.esed.org.gr/en/code-listed The deviations in relation to the special practices as they are provided by the Code, are mentioned in the following table. 55 Hellenic Corporate Governance Code Explanation / Justification of the deviations from the specific practices of the Greek Corporate Governance Code Diversity Criteria Special Practice 2.2.15 Other than the members of the Board of Directors for the selections of which the company applies the foreseen in the Suitability Policy of the members of the Board of Directors diversity criteria, there are no explicit diversity criteria concerning senior management with specific gender representation objectives as well as timetables for achieving them. The company considers a timetable for the adoption of suitable diversity criteria for senior and senior management, while accessing that extra time is going to be needed so that their entactment and implementation can be made feasible, taking into consideration the nature of the Company’s activities. It is estimated that there is no risk from the above deviation. Composition of Board of Directors Special Practice 2.2.21 Special Practice 2.2.22 The Board of Directors does not appoint as an independent non-executive Vice- Chairman or a senior independent member one of its independent non- executive members, as this practice has the prerequisite of the Chairman of Board being a non-executive member. In accordance with the provisions of the article 8 paragraph 2 of L.4706/2020, the Board of Directors has appointed as Chairman of the Board one of its executive members and also one of its non- executive members as the Vice-President. In this context, the Board of Directors has appointed two Vice-Presidents non-executive as members of the Board of Directors. The Vice Chairman Α΄ may substitute the competences of the Chairman of the Board, as stated on the statutes of the Company, when he is unable to attend or impediment. In case of absence or impediment from the Vice Chairman A’, he is substituted by Vice Chairman B’. The said composition ensures the Board’s efficient and productive operation. After the expiration of the Boards mandate, the company will review where it is deliberate and feasible to fully comply with the above Special Practice. 56 Remuneration of members of the Board of Directors Special Practice 2.4.14 There is no specific provision in the contractual terms for all executive members of the Board of Directors in which is envisaged, that the Board of Directors may require the refund of all or part of the bonus awarded, due to breach of contractual terms or incorrect financial statements of previous years or generally based on incorrect financial data, used for the calculation of this bonus. In order to fully comply with this Special Practice, the Company examines the amendment of the contracts with the addition of explicit terms for the above and accesses that extra time will be needed. It is estimated that there is no risk from the above deviation, for as long as it is in force. Besides that, according to the remuneration policy for the Members of the Board of Directors, the payment for variable remuneration can be postponed with the decision of the BoD, especially if there are special circumstances that justify this postponement (i.e. the profitability of the company has been affected from an unpredictable event), while the payment of the bonus can be recalled with a decision from the Board of Directors, if the member has been sentenced or the elements of the company’s profitability based on the published financial statements are proved to be inaccurate. Evaluation of the Board of Directors / Chief Executive Special Practice 3.3.16 The statement of Corporate Governance does not include a brief description of the individual and collective evaluation process of the Boards of Directors, the committees, as well as a summary of any findings and corrective actions. Given that the existing Board of Directors was elected on July14, 2021, followed by the reorganization of its committees, the Company schedules the above mentioned evaluations after the completion of the first year of the new Board of Directors and its committees term of office. Thus, the Company will comply with the specific Special Practice within the next year. It is estimated that there is no risk regarding the deviation of the current year, as the suitability of Board of Directors’ members and Company’s committees is monitored on a continuous basis, while as of today there is no reason for an exceptional re-evaluation (except for the ongoing regular, annual evaluation) of each member’s suitability. 57 Internal Audit The Company has Internal Rules of Operation, which were approved and initially entered into force with the decision of the Board of Directors of 31.03.2007, were revised with the decision of 30.08.2018 of the Board of Directors of the Company, most recently amended, with the 14.07.2021 decision of the Board of Directors, in order to adapt to amendments to the current legislation on corporate governance, including the provisions of L.4548/2018 and article 44 of L.4449/2017 (regarding the responsibilities of the Audit Committee).

The type of the Audit Committee, the term of office, the number and the capacity of its members are decided by the General Meeting of the Company's shareholders. Its composition is formed at the discretion of the General Assembly within the respective legislative framework. The members of the Audit Committee are by an independent majority, within the meaning of article 4 of L.3016/2002 as in force, article 9 of L. 4706/2020. The participation in the Audit Committee of persons who simultaneously hold positions or capacities or who carry out transactions incompatible with the purpose of the Commission is prohibited. Subject to the above, the participation of a person in the Audit Committee does not exclude his participation in another Committee of the Board of Directors, as long as this does not affect the proper performance of the person's duties as a member of the Audit Committee. The members of the Audit Committee as a whole have sufficient knowledge and experience in the field of activity of the Company. At least one member of the Audit Committee, who is independent from the Company, has sufficient knowledge and experience in auditing or accounting. The members of the Audit Committee are appointed by the General Meeting of Shareholders of the Company, when it is an independent committee, or by the Board of Directors, when the Audit Committee is a committee of the Board of Directors, in accordance with the law, with a decision that sufficiently justifies the qualifications of the proposed members of the Committee as well as the independence of the nominated independent members.

The Chairman of the Board of Directors cannot be the same person with the Chairman of the Audit Committee.

The Audit Committee, in addition to the scheduled meetings, holds mandatory meetings with the management and the relevant executives during the preparation of the financial reports as well as with the chartered accountant during the planning stage of the audit, during its execution and during the stage of preparation of audit reports.

Independent Auditors Report 107 EΡΝΣΤ & ΓΙΑΝΓΚ (ΕΛΛΑΣ) Ορκωτοί Ελεγκτές – Λογιστές Α.E. Χειμάρρας 8 Β, Μαρούσι 151 25 Αθήνα Τηλ.: 210 2886 000 Φαξ: 210 2886 905 ey.com THIS REPORT HAS BEEN TRANSLATED FROM THE ORIGINAL VERSION IN GREEK INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT To the Shareholders of AEGEAN AIRLINES S.A.. Report on the Audit of the Separate and Consolidated Financial Statements Opinion We have audited the accompanying separate and consolidated financial statements of Aegean Airlines S.A. (the Company), which comprise the separate and consolidated statement of financial position as of December 31, 2021, the separate and consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the statement of changes in equity and cash flows for the year then ended and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information. In our opinion, the accompanying separate and consolidated financial statements present fairly in all material respects the financial position of Aegean Airlines S.A., and its subsidiaries (the Group) as at December 31, 2021 and its consolidated financial performance and cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, as endorsed by the European Union. Basis for Opinion We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISAs), as incorporated in Greek Law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the “Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Separate and Consolidated Financial Statements” section of our report. We remained independent of the Company and Group throughout the period of our appointment in accordance with the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants’ Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (IESBA Code), as incorporated in Greek Law, together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to the audit of the consolidated financial statements in Greece, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the IESBA Code. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. Key audit matters Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the separate and consolidated financial statements of the current period. These matters and the related risks of material misstatement , were addressed in the context of our audit of the separate and consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. For each matter below, our description of how our audit addressed the matter is provided in that context. We have fulfilled the responsibilities described in the “Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Separate and Consolidated Financial Statements” section of our report, including in relation to these matters. Accordingly, our audit included the performance of procedures designed to respond to our assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the separate and consolidated financial statements. The results of our audit procedures, including the procedures performed to address the matters below, provide the basis for our audit opinion on the accompanying separate and consolidated financial statements. 108 Key Audit Matter How our audit addressed the key audit matter Implications of the COVID-19 pandemic on the liquidity, the adequacy of the working capital and the going concern basis (separate and consolidated financial statements) The COVID-19 pandemic has had a particularly strong impact on the airline industry, since led to a significant reduction in air travel, with significant impact on the Company’s and the Group’s operations and liquidity. Management has undertaken a number of measures to support Company’s and Group’s liquidity, including the use of available support measures by government, similar to those provided by other governments around the world. In addition, the management, in the context of a broader Company’s and Group’s business planning for the years 2022 to 2026, has prepared, among others, projected cash flows and working capital for the same period focusing, considered also the geopolitical developments, for the purposes of the going concern assessment, on the years 2022 and 2023. The implementation of the business planning and the projected cash flows depend to a large extent on management's assumptions and estimates regarding the future business developments, the potential impact of national and international travel restrictions on flight operations, the successful implementation of the cost- cutting measures, working capital improvement measures and investments’ rescheduling. Management took into consideration all the above conditions in assessing the suitability of applying the going concern basis of the Company and the Group and the existence or not of a material uncertainty to this respect. We have identified the implications of the COVID-19 pandemic as a key audit matter due to the complexity of the required calculations, the importance of the management’s assumptions and estimates in determining the projected cash flows and the effect of these estimates on liquidity, working capital adequacy and the going concern accounting principle. The audit procedures that we performed, among others, were as follows: • We discussed with management the implications of the COVID-19 pandemic on the financial results, financial position, liquidity and working capital of the Company and the Group in the short and medium term. We also discussed the different assumptions and scenarios used by the management in its assessment of going concern basis. • We tested for mathematical accuracy the relevant calculations, the completeness and consistency of the business model and the generation of cash flows and their individual components. In this context, we have considered how the various cost cutting and cash outflow reduction measures and arrangements were implemented during the year under audit, but also post balance sheet date. We considered their impact in the future planning of the Company’s and Group’s asset base (aircraft), its personnel and the changes in certain financial covenants’ measurement dates. We also evaluated the capital expenditure that is included in the business plan against the purchase commitments and frame agreements. In the context of our evaluation and testing of the business plan that management has prepared, we included in the executive audit team, experts in the design and review of forecasted financial information and respective financial models. • In our evaluation of the cash inflows included in the liquidity planning, we examined, among others, measures and other funding resources, 109 Key Audit Matter How our audit addressed the key audit matter Implications of the COVID-19 pandemic on the liquidity, the adequacy of the working capital and the going concern basis (separate and consolidated financial statements) - continue The Company’s and the Group’s disclosures relevant to the assessment of the implications of the COVID-19 pandemic on its liquidity and the going concern basis are included in note 2 of the separate and consolidated financial statements. we audited the collection of these amounts and we evaluated the terms and the conditions for receiving these funds. • We evaluated the consistency of management’s estimates regarding the expected flight activity for the foreseeable future with analysts’ estimates for the airline sector, including the estimates of the International Air Transport Association (IATA) and the macroeconomic forecasts. • Further, we discussed with management the most recent estimations regarding potential effects of current geopolitical developments (travel restrictions due to sanctions, fuel prices) and the examination of this factor in the Group’s business plan. • We also discussed other possible measures for ensuring liquidity, that are not reflected in the liquidity planning, as they were not deemed as necessary in the current period. • We evaluated the estimates and assumptions of the management regarding the application of the going concern accounting principle for the Company and the Group and the absence of any material uncertainty to this respect, as well as, the appropriateness and sufficiency of the relevant disclosures in the separate and the consolidated financial statements. Key Audit Matter How our audit addressed the key audit matter Impairment considerations of Goodwill (consolidated financial statements) and owned and leased aircraft (separate and consolidated financial statements) and of investment in subsidiaries (separate financial statements) The amount of goodwill of €40m which was recognized upon acquisition of Olympic Air in the consolidated financial statements is tested for impairment annually or more frequently if impairment indicators are present. In addition, in the separate and consolidated financial statements as at December 31, 2021 are included: a) in the tangible fixed assets account, the owned aircraft (including maintenance components and their mechanical equipment) with net book value The audit procedures that we performed, among others, were as follows: • We received and assessed the measurement test for the recoverability of owned and leased aircraft, goodwill and investment in subsidiaries performed by management. • We evaluated the managements’ decision to carry out the measurement of the recoverable amount of owned and leased aircraft, goodwill and investments in subsidiaries, considering the operation of the Group as one cash generating unit. 110 Key Audit Matter How our audit addressed the key audit matter Impairment considerations of Goodwill (consolidated financial statements) and owned and leased aircraft (separate and consolidated financial statements) and of investment in subsidiaries (separate financial statements) - continue € 71m million and € 100m for the Company and the Group, respectively, depreciated during their useful life, b) in the account right of use assets, the leased aircraft with net book value € 388m and € 396m for the Company and the Group, respectively, that are depreciated in the period of the right of use or during their useful life, depending on the lease terms. c) in the account investment in subsidiaries for the Company, investments in Olympic Air SA. and in Aegean Cyprus LTD, amounting to € 62m and € 18m respectively, which are valued at cost and are assessed for impairment if there is any indication that they may be impaired. At each balance sheet date, the Company and the Group assess whether there is any indication of impairment for owned aircraft, leased utility aircraft and investments in subsidiaries. As a result of the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, the management estimates that there is evidence of their impairment. Therefore, management measured their recoverable amount, taking into account their value in use and thus assessing the need to recognize any impairment loss. The impairment assessment process of owned and leased aircraft, the goodwill and the investment in subsidiaries involves judgements, estimates and assumptions with respect to the future cash flows of the Group, the future volume and sales growth rates, the prices of future prices of fuel and the discount rate of the cash flows, considering the Group as one Cash Generating Unit (CGU) and using projected results for a five years period (2022 - 2026), as a basis for judgment, estimates and assumptions in the remaining period until expiration of the respective rights of use of the fixed assets or their useful life as appropriate. We have identified the impairment testing of owned and leased aircraft, goodwill and investment in subsidiaries and the assessment of their recoverable amount as a key audit matter due to the level of the amounts and the nature of the accounts involved and due to inherent uncertainty involved in the judgements, estimates and assumptions • We assessed management's judgments, estimates and assumptions regarding future cash flows, future turnover growth rates, fuel price assumptions, exchange rates and cash flow discount rates for the next five years and the use of the five-year period as a basis for judgments, estimates and assumptions on the remaining term of the right of use assets or on the remaining useful life as appropriate. • We assessed whether the estimates, which have been used for the expected flight activity of the coming years, are in line with the estimates of the industry. • We assessed the consistency between the periods, the methods, the assumptions and the calculations followed by the Company and the Group, and whether changes in business practices, accounting principles and policies that affect the calculations have been taken into account as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, which has in turn altered the overall business environment in the sector. We performed sensitivity analysis by stressing the key assumptions used in the managements’ financial model. • We also tested the calculations for mathematical accuracy and we included in our team experts specialized in the valuation issues. Also, we assessed the sufficiency of related disclosures in the separate and consolidated financial statements. 111 Key Audit Matter How our audit addressed the key audit matter Impairment considerations of Goodwill (consolidated financial statements) and owned and leased aircraft (separate and consolidated financial statements) and of investment in subsidiaries (separate financial statements) – continue used by the management during this process particularly in view of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic during this process. The Company’s and the Group’s disclosures relevant to the accounting policy, the judgements, the estimates and the assumptions used for the impairment test of goodwill, the owned and leased aircraft and the investment in subsidiaries can be found in notes 2, 2.2, 3.1, 3.2, 3.3 and 3.4 of the separate and consolidated financial statements. Key Audit Matter How our audit addressed the key audit matter Revenue recognition and loyalty programs (separate and consolidated financial statements) Revenues for the year ended December 31, 2021 amounted to €512m and €675m for the Company and the Group, respectively, and refer to sales of flight tickets and products and services rendered. Flight ticket sales represent the main revenue source and comprise direct ticket sales, ticket sales through agents and interline ticket sales. Revenues related to flight ticket sales are accounted for as flown and at year-end deferred revenue is recognized for the non-flown tickets as the service has not yet been provided. This amount is subsequently recognized as revenue when the flight takes place. Deferred revenues as at December 31, 2021 amounted to €134m and €139m for the Company and the Group respectively. In addition, the Company and the Group have established a loyalty program that is treated as a separate component of the sales transaction which requires delivery in the future upon redemption of the miles earned by customers. The management makes judgements, estimates and assumptions with a high degree of uncertainty and uses actuarial methods and historical data and information for the quantification of the fair value of the miles offered to customers and the percentage of miles which are not expected to be redeemed. Relevant deferred revenues at December 31, 2021 amounted to €46m for the Company and the Group. We identified the revenues from ticket sales and deferred revenues as a key audit matter due to the level of the related accounts, the amount of transactions involved The audit procedures that we performed, among others, have as follows: • We tested the IT controls of systems and applications supporting the significant classes of transactions related to revenue such as logical access, change and IT operation management control. • We audited reconciliations between accounting and commercial systems. • For a sample of direct sales we tested revenues recorded in the system upon issuance of the ticket and the classification when tickets were flown. • For sales through agents we received the monthly sales analysis per country and we audited the reconciliation of the accounts involved to general ledger. We audited a sample of reports from agents and tested the reconciliation of basic fare, VAT and taxes to the relevant accounts in the general ledger. • For interline revenue, we received the monthly clearance by International Air Transport Association (IATA) and we audited the reconciliation to the revenue accounts in the general ledger. • We identified non-financial information that enabled us to draw conclusions for the variation of the value of sales performed. 112 Key Audit Matter How our audit addressed the key audit matter Revenue recognition and loyalty programs (separate and consolidated financial statements) – continue and the volume of information processed in various IT systems, the inherent risk of not recognizing revenues in the correct period, the amount of time needed to audit these accounts and the judgements, estimates and assumptions used by the management for the calculation of the related amounts. The Company’s and the Group’s disclosures relevant to the accounting policy, the judgements, the estimates and the assumptions used for the revenues from ticket sales and for deferred revenues can be found in notes 2.2, 2.4, 3.21 and 3.24 of the separate and consolidated financial statements. • For a sample of revenue for tickets not flown until December 31, 2021, we checked the breakdown of current and deferred revenue. • For the Miles and Bonus loyalty program, we tested the calculation of the part of the revenue that is deferred to next year, we assessed the actuarial valuation of the Company in relation to the fair value of the miles awarded and the assumptions with respect to the percentage of awarded miles not expected to be redeemed through the use of historical trends. We included in our team experts in actuarial assessments. We assessed the sufficiency of related disclosures in the separate and consolidated financial statements. Key Audit Matter How our audit addressed the key audit matter Provision for aircraft maintenance (separate and consolidated financial statements) The Company and the Group operate aircrafts, under lease agreements based on which certain maintenance requirements have to be met. During the contract period, a provision is made with the estimated amounts required to be paid in the future for the fulfilment of the contractual commitments. The calculation of the related amounts requires by management the use of judgements, estimates and assumptions which may change in the future. The provision for aircraft maintenance as at 31 December 2021 amounted to €82m and to €90m for the Company and the Group, respectively. We have identified the provision of aircraft maintenance as a key audit matter because of the high degree of uncertainty of the judgements, the significant estimates and assumptions, including the implications of the COVID-19 pandemic in their reassessment, used by the management and the of the magnitude of the related amounts. The Company’s and the Group’s disclosures relevant to the accounting policy, the judgements, the estimates and the assumptions used on the provision for aircraft maintenance can be found in notes 2.2 and 3.19 of the separate and consolidated financial statements. The audit procedures that we performed, among others, were as follows: • We assessed the design of management controls over the calculation of the provision for aircraft maintenance. • We assessed whether the Company and the Group used consistently to those used in prior periods the methodology for the calculation of the provision for aircraft maintenance, using also historical data and discussed with the management the key judgements, estimates and assumptions used in the calculation of the provision for aircraft maintenance, as they were reassessed due to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. • We audited the key judgements, estimates and assumptions for the expected cost of maintenance of aircrafts, engines and other components, the flight hours or flight cycles, the maintenance program taking into consideration the agreements signed with maintenance providers for aircrafts and engines as well as we audited the assumptions used for the discount rate and the foreign exchange rates. • We compared estimates and assumptions used to internal and external sources and data, where available. 113 Key Audit Matter How our audit addressed the key audit matter Provision for aircraft maintenance (separate and consolidated financial statements) – continue • We recalculated the amounts included in the model used by the management. Also, we assessed the sufficiency of related disclosures in the separate and consolidated financial statements. Key Audit Matter How our audit addressed the key audit matter Derivative contracts (separate and consolidated financial statements) The Company and the Group enters into derivative contracts to hedge risks arising from the variation of prices in fuel, interest rates and foreign exchange. Derivatives are considered by the management as cash flow hedges and any change in their fair value is transferred to other comprehensive income, otherwise are recognized at the statement of comprehensive income of the year. At December 31, 2021 the Company and the Group had recognized derivative assets of €28m and derivative liabilities of €13m, respectively. We have identified the valuation and recognition of derivative contracts as a key audit matter due to the level and the nature of the related accounts, the complexity of the accounting treatment and the uncertainties surrounding the judgements, estimates and assumptions used by the management for the calculation of the related amounts and the implementation of the hedging accounting as well as due to the implications of the COVID-19 pandemic on the hedge effectiveness and its effect on the statement of comprehensive income. The Company’s and the Group’s disclosures relevant to the accounting policy, the judgements, the estimates and the assumptions used for the calculation of the measurement of derivatives can be found in notes 2.2, 2.8 and 3.23 of the separate and consolidated financial statements. The audit procedures that we performed, among others were as follows: • For all derivative contracts which were effective at the year-end we compared their fair value and their corresponding carrying amount recognized in the financial statements with the valuations of the counterparties. • We audited the terms of the derivative contracts which were effective as at December 31, 2021 and for a sample of them we recalculated their fair value. • We assessed whether the derivative contracts meet the criteria set by the relevant accounting standards and where applicable, the criteria for hedge accounting by category of derivatives. • We included in our team derivative experts specialized in the valuation of derivative contracts. • We audit the management's estimates for the future cash flows for which the hedge accounting has been used and in cases where the management's initial estimate was revised, we confirmed the correct accounting treatment. • We audited the fulfillment and the proper accounting treatment of the contracts expired within the year as well as of the effective contracts as of December 31, 2021. • We audited the classification of derivative contracts in current and non-current assets and liabilities in the statement of financial position. We assessed the sufficiency of related disclosures in the separate and consolidated financial statements. 114 Other information Management is responsible for the other information in the Annual Report. The other information, includes the Board of Directors’ Report, for which reference is also made in section “Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements”, the Statements of the Members of the Board of Directors, but does not include the separate and consolidated financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. Our opinion on the separate and consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. In connection with our audit of the separate and consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information identified above and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the separate and consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard. Responsibilities of the Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Separate and Consolidated Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the separate and consolidated financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as endorsed by the European Union, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of separate and consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the separate and consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company’s and Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company and the Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so. The Audit Committee (Law 44 ν.4449/2017) is responsible for overseeing the Company’s and the Group’s financial reporting process. Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the separate and c onsolidated Financial Statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the separate and consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs, as incorporated in Greek Law, will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these separate and consolidated financial statements. As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs, as incorporated in Greek Law , we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also: • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the separate and consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. • Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s and the Group’s internal control. • Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management. • Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s and the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude 115 that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the separate and consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company and the Group to cease to continue as a going concern. • Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the separate and consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the separate and consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation. • Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the separate and consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the Company and its subsidiaries. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion. We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit. We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards. From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the separate and consolidated financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters.

General Information The Company AEGEAN AIRLINES S.A. , a Societe Anonyme airline company (hereafter referred as “The Company”), is the parent company of AEGEAN Group (hereafter referred as “The Group”), which bears the title of AEGEAN AIRLINES in its international transactions. The Company’s duration has been defined until 31.12.2044 and can be extended after that, following the decision of the General Shareholders Meeting. The Company’s registered address is in the Municipality of Kifissia, Attiki , Greece (31 Viltanioti St. PC 145 64) . The Company and the Group operate in the sector of public airline transportations, providing transport of passengers and goods inside and outside the Greek territory , conducting scheduled and charter flights. At the same time, they render aviation application services, aircraft technical support and ground handling services. The financial statements for the period that ended in the 31 st December 2021 have been prepared according to the International Financial Reporting Standards and have been approved by the Board of Directors of the Company on March 22, 2021 and are subject to approval of the General Shareholders Meeting that will take place within June 2022. 1.2 Nature of Operations The Company and the Group operate in the sector of public airline transportations, providing transport of passengers and goods inside and outside the Greek territory, conducting scheduled and unscheduled flights. At the same time, they render aviation services, technical support and ground handling aircraft services. Indicatively, the Company’s and the Group’s objectives include among others the following activities/operations: • participation in any type of local or foreign company of similar nature of operations; • establishment of subsidiaries and agencies; • import, trade, leasing of aircraft and spare parts. 2. Basis of Preparation of the Annual Financial Statements The Company’s financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), as adopted by EU. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost principle except for certain categories of assets and liabilities measured at fair values. These categories are the ones stated below: Financial derivatives; Debt and equity instruments Financial statements are presented in thousand euro (€ ‘000), except if stated otherwise. In case of small variances in decimals are mainly due to rounding. Management assesses the basic financial figures and if necessary, verifies Company’s compliance with medium- term budgeted amounts, as wells as loan covenants if any, in order to assess Company’s ability to continue as going 131 concern and prepare the annual separate and group financial statements using the going concern basis of accounting. Impact of the pandemic, measures taken to address the pandemic crisis and planning The pandemic, which began in late 2019 and spread to Europe and Greece in early 2020, is the strongest external shock the industry has ever faced. The main impact of the pandemic on the Group was the drastic decline in demand for commercial flights due to the impact that the pandemic had on the demand for both leisure and business travel planning as well as the unprecedented restrictive measures imposed by the governments to control the pandemic during 2020 and 2021. The acceleration in the vaccination program and the implementation of the green digital passport have contributed to the improvement of the conditions while significantly reducing the pervasive uncertainty that had negatively affected consumer behavior. From June 2021, after the easing of the restrictive measures, there was a significant increase in the Group's bookings, with capacity and flight activity recovering, however significantly deviating from the pre-pandemic levels. From the beginning of 2020 and throughout 2021, the Group acted immediately to mitigate the impact of the pandemic on all axes of its business operation: Implementation of the necessary procedures to protect the health of its passengers and employees; Flexible and dynamic network management in order to adapt efficiently to volatile market conditions; Ongoing negotiations with main suppliers and counterparties to achieve cost reduction, flexibility and adaptability in the volatile market environment. Utilization of the horizontal measures offered by the Greek state to support the employees and the companies; Cash and capital shielding. Group’s main concern since the beginning of this unprecedented crisis has been the protection of the health of passengers and crews. In close cooperation with the health authorities, the Group, observing all the health protocols, applied new enhanced hygiene and safety measures at each stage of the trip and adapted cleaning and disinfection procedures of the aircraft. It is a fact that this effort brought a significant distinction for the Group in 2021 for the hygiene and protection measures applied by the international aviation evaluation organization Skytrax, which ranked AEGEAN among the leading airlines in the world. The systematic cost savings of all categories and mainly in fixed expenses in order to shield the Group has been a key concern for the Management since the beginning of this crisis. In addition, the Group in 2021 continued to use the horizontal measures offered by the Greek State, mainly in terms of supporting employment and the "Syn- ergasia" program based on business needs. The Group has reported a heavily loss-making year as a result of the pandemic and its unprecedented serious consequences. 132 The Group during the first half of the year completed its actions for the Company’s share capital increase in accordance with art. 30 of L. 4772/2021 to meet the conditions for the payment of the state aid. More specifically on June 2021 the share capital increase by payment of cash and with pre-emptive rights in favor of the existing shareholders, was completed, by raising funds of €60.000.000 through the exercise of pre-emptive rights and pre- subscription rights. As a result, the Company’s share capital increase was increased by €12.187.500 through the issuance of 18.750.000 new common registered voting shares with a nominal value of €0,65 each. An amount equal to EUR 47.812.500 was credited to the “Reserve from the issuance of shares above par” account. The share capital of the Company amounted to €58.608.615 and was divided into 90.167.100 new common registered voting shares, with a nominal value of €0,65 each. The verification of the share capital increase from the Board of Directors took place on 14.06.2021. The Listing and Market Operation Committee of the Athens Exchange during its meeting held on 15.06.2021 approved the listing for trading of the 18.750.000 New Shares in the main market of the Athens Exchange with a nominal value of €0,65 each. The commencement of the trading of the new shares was set on 16.06.2021. Following the completion of the share capital increase through which total funds of €60m were raised and verified by the Board of Directors on June 14th, 2021, a grant of €120m was disbursed on July 2nd, 2021 by the Hellenic Republic as a compensation to the Company for the losses suffered by the coronavirus outbreak, in accordance with the provisions of article 30 of Law 4772/2021 and the joint Ministerial decision by the Ministers of Finance and Transport & Infrastructure (FEK B’ 2231/28.05.2021). Given the grant disbursement, the Company issued and delivered warrants without consideration to the Hellenic Republic as per article 30 of Law 4772/2021 and article 56 of Law 4548/2018 and a relevant contract will be signed. More specifically, 10,369,217 warrants will be issued, each warrant providing the right to purchase one new common registered share of nominal value of €0.65, at an exercise price of €3.20 per share, which can be exercised between 03.07.2023 and 03.07.2026, whilst the Company retains a call option to buy back the warrants at their market value. In terms of liquidity management, in the beginning of this crisis, as in all previous years, the Group had a strong liquidity position. In order to further shield its liquidity, the Group secured a working capital financing line of €120 million, which after an agreement with the 4 Greek systemic banks in April 2021, it replaced and extended with a Bond Loan of the same amount up to 30.09.2022. By the end of 2020, the Company had made use of this credit amounting to € 92 million. In July 2021, it prepaid the bond loan amounting to €92 million through repurchase of the bonds, thus maintaining the total credit line of €120 mil. until 30.09.2022. The Company signed on 13.4.2021 a contract to modify the program of the common bond loan amount of € 200,000,000 (the "Code") with the Representative of the Bondholders, pursuant to from 30/3/2021 decision of the Bondholders' Meeting, which amends the contract, inter alia, partially change in the use of funds raised as well as changes in the periods of measurement of finances indicators. Regarding Group’s investment program for the fleet renewal at the beginning of the crisis an extension in the delivery schedule until 2026 was achieved in order to shield liquidity and to adapt available capacity in this changing conditions that the pandemic cause, maintaining though the plan the 46 aircraft deliveries. Within 2021, an amendment in the delivery schedule was agreed, maintaining the horizon of the investment program until 2026, but re-profiling deliveries in order to increase deliveries for the next two years, in the context to exploit the benefits 133 that the new Airbus A320 neo family aircraft bring. In addition, the Company exercised its right to convert 6 aircraft from A320 neo to A321 neo. Briefly, after the above-mentioned change, AEGEAN’s total fleet will consist of 26 A320 neo and 20 A321 neo aircraft. Despite the adverse environment due to the pandemic, the Company’s investment commitment to renew its fleet with 46 new technology aircraft continues to materialize and the Company as of today has already delivered 10 Airbus A320neo family aircraft. The new technology engines of these aircraft reduce by 15% the fuel burn per flight and contribute to the reduction of the CO2 emissions by 19%-23% per seat in comparison to the previous technology Airbus aircraft. The Group additionally proceeded with turboprop’s fleet restructuring. The Group agreed the early termination and the redelivery to the lessor of the 8 Q400 type turboprop aircraft. The initial lease agreements expired in June 2023 and with the new agreement all 8 Q400 aircraft will be redelivered within the first half of 2022. At the same time, the Group entered into an agreement for the purchase of three ATR72-600 type aircraft, one of which has already been delivered and the other two are expected to be delivered within the first half of 2022. In addition, the Group has already agreed with lessors with competitive lease and redelivery terms, the lease of 6 ATR72-600 aircraft, two of which have already been delivered and the rest are expected within the first half of 2022. The impact of the pandemic in the forthcoming period cannot be estimated with certainty for the sector in which the Group operates. The conditions for the formation of a better business environment for the Group, mainly due to the existence of effective vaccines, new drugs and diagnostic tests are already visible from 2021 after demand’s recovery which recorded during the summer season. According to IATA for the coming years, the intra-European market is expected to benefit from the preference of passengers for short and medium-distance travel as passenger confidence restore. Lifting all restrictive measures and returning to levels close to pre-pandemic normalcy facilitates and helps to restore passenger confidence. The total number of passengers to/from and within Europe is expected to reach 86% of traffic in 2019 while according to IATA full recovery (105%) is expected in 2024. In any case, and despite the apparent improvement in the outlook and dynamics of the summer of 2021, as pandemic conditions continue to exist, the course of the recovery cannot be estimated. Any new variants and outbreaks of the pandemic in combination with other exogenous factors may drastically change the demand environment. Group’s solid foundation, the adaptability and the durability, the performance and the adequacy of financial liquidity but also the professionalism and the capabilities of the Group's employees are important competitive advantages that prove the strenght and enable the formation of a safe and sustainable development for the Group. Taking into consideration all of the above as well as the recent geopolitical developments (Note 3.37), the Group’s Management reassessed its business plan, at least for the next 12 months from the issuance of the financial statements, including the impact of the COVID 19 pandemic and the impact of the fuel and CO2 prices on the country’s broader economic environment as well as on the Group’s operating activities, also taking into consideration the forecasts of the International Air Transport Association (IATA) regarding the flight activity levels in 2022, as well as the impact of the actions and measures it has taken, with the aim to reduce the negative impact on its financial statements. Therefore, the Company considers that there will be sufficient working capital for the next 12 months from the issuance of the financial statements and it will comply to any financial covenants. 134 Following the above, the Group’s Management concluded that the going concern assumption is suitable to be used for the preparation of the annual financial statements of the Group and the Company and there is no doubt regarding the Group's ability to operate based on the going concern principle. Basis of Consolidation The accompanied consolidated financial statements include parent’s financial statements, as well as the financial statements of any subsidiary in which the parent company has significant control. The subsidiaries (companies in which the Group directly or indirectly controls more than 50% of the votes or otherwise controls the administration) have been consolidated. Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which effective control is transferred to the Group and cease to be consolidated from the date on which control ceases to be in effect. The financial statements of subsidiaries are prepared on the same date and with the same accounting principles as the financial statements of the parent. Intra-group transactions (including investments), balances and unrealized gains on transactions between Group companies are eliminated. Losses are allocated to non-controlling interests even if the balance is negative. Transactions that lead to change in ownership in subsidiaries are recognized in shareholders’ equity. The results of subsidiaries acquired or sold during the financial period are included in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income from or up to the date of acquisition or sale, respectively. Business combinations and goodwill A business combination is a transaction or other event in which an acquirer obtains control of one or more businesses. A business is defined as a set of activities and assets that can be managed for the purpose of creation of benefits to its owners. If the acquired assets are not a business, the transaction is accounted for as an acquisition of an asset and the acquisition cost is allocated to assets and liabilities, based on their relative fair values at the acquisition date. Business combinations are accounted with the acquisition method. The cost of an acquisition is the fair value of the assets acquired, equity issued and liabilities assumed at the date of exchange, plus the amount of non-controlling interest measured in, for each combination, either at fair value or at the proportion of non-controlling interest at fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired. Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred. If the cost of acquisition is less than the fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired, the difference is recognized directly in the income statement. Goodwill on acquisitions of subsidiaries is recorded as an intangible asset. Goodwill is not amortized but is subject to at least annual testing for impairment. Thus, after initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. For impairment testing purposes, goodwill is allocated, at the acquisition date, to each cash-generating unit that is expected to benefit from the combination. The impairment test is performed by comparing the recoverable amount (value in use) of the unit with the carrying amount of each unit including the goodwill allocated to this unit. The recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less any costs to sell, and the unit value in use. More specifically the value in use is determined by using discounting future cash flows with an appropriate discount rate. An impairment loss recognized for goodwill is not reversed in 135 subsequent periods. Impairment loss recognized for goodwill is not reversed in subsequent periods. Gains and losses on the disposal of subsidiaries are determined taking into account the goodwill relating to the entity sold. Investment in subsidiaries In the financial statements of the parent company, investments in subsidiaries are valued at cost of acquisition less any accumulated impairment losses. The impairment test is carried out whenever there is any indication of impairment based on the provisions of IAS 36 "Impairment of Assets" (Note 3.4) 2.1 Standards, Interpretations and amendments to existing standards Α ) Changes in accounting policies and disclosures The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year except for the following amended IFRSs which have been adopted by the Group as of 1 January 2021: • Interest Rate Benchmark Reform – Phase 2 – IFRS 9, IAS 39, IFRS 7, IFRS 4 and IFRS 16 (Amendments) In August 2020, the IASB published Interest Rate Benchmark Reform – Phase 2, Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39, IFRS 7, IFRS 4 and IFRS 16, completing its work in response to IBOR reform. The amendments provide temporary reliefs which address the financial reporting effects when an interbank offered rate (IBOR) is replaced with an alternative nearly risk-free interest rate (RFR). In particular, the amendments provide for a practical expedient when accounting for changes in the basis for determining the contractual cash flows of financial assets and liabilities, to require the effective interest rate to be adjusted, equivalent to a movement in a market rate of interest. Also, the amendments introduce reliefs from discontinuing hedge relationships including a temporary relief from having to meet the separately identifiable requirement when an RFR instrument is designated as a hedge of a risk component. There are also amendments to IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures to enable users of financial statements to understand the effect of interest rate benchmark reform on an entity’s financial instruments and risk management strategy. While application is retrospective, an entity is not required to restate prior periods. The Group will use the temporary reliefs, if necessary. However, the interest rate benchmark reform has no material impact on the group financial statements. • IFRS 16 Leases-C ο vid 19 Related Rent Concessions (Amendment) The amendment applies, retrospectively, to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 June 2020. Earlier application is permitted, including in financial statements not yet authorized for issue at 28 May 2020. IASB amended the standard to provide relief to lessees from applying IFRS 16 guidance on lease modification accounting for rent concessions arising as a direct consequence of the covid-19 pandemic. The amendment provides a practical expedient for the lessee to account for any change in lease payments resulting from the covid-19 related rent concession the same way it would account for the change under IFRS 16, if the change was not a lease modification, only if all of the following conditions are met: o The change in lease payments results in revised consideration for the lease that is substantially the same as, or less than, the consideration for the lease immediately preceding the change. o Any reduction in lease payments affects only payments originally due on or before 30 June 2021. 136 o There is no substantive change to other terms and conditions of the lease. The amendment had no material impact on the financial statements of the Group • Attributing Benefit to Periods of Service (IAS 19 Employee Benefits) – IFRS Interpretation Committee (IFRS IC or IFRIC) Agenda Decision issued May 2021 The International Financial Reporting Standards Interpretations Committee issued a final agenda decision in May 2021, under the title "Attributing Benefits to Periods of Service" (IAS 19), which includes explanatory material regarding the attribution of benefits in periods of service regarding a specific defined benefit plan analogous to that defined in Article 8 of Greek Law 3198/1955 regarding provision of compensation due to retirement (the "Labor Law Defined Benefit Plan"). This explanatory information differentiates the way in which the basic principles and regulations of IAS 19 have been applied in Greece in the previous years, and therefore, according to what is defined in the “IASB Due Process Handbook (par 8.6)”, entities that prepare their financial statements in accordance with IFRS are required to amend their Accounting Policy accordingly. Based on the above, the aforementioned decision is implemented in accordance with paragraphs 19-22 of IAS 8 as a change in accounting policy. The impact on the group financial statements is analysed in the Note 3.16. Β ) Standards issued but not yet effective and not early adopted • Amendment in IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements and IAS 28 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures: Sale or Contribution of Assets between an Investor and its Associate or Joint Venture The amendments address an acknowledged inconsistency between the requirements in IFRS 10 and those in IAS 28, in dealing with the sale or contribution of assets between an investor and its associate or joint venture. The main consequence of the amendments is that a full gain or loss is recognized when a transaction involves a business (whether it is housed in a subsidiary or not). A partial gain or loss is recognized when a transaction involves assets that do not constitute a business, even if these assets are housed in a subsidiary. In December 2015 the IASB postponed the effective date of this amendment indefinitely pending the outcome of its research project on the equity method of accounting. The amendments have not yet been endorsed by the EU. Management estimates that the amendment will not have material impact on the group financial statements. • IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements: Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current (Amendments) The amendments were initially effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2022 with earlier application permitted. However, in response to the covid-19 pandemic, the Board has deferred the effective date by one year, i.e. 1 January 2023, to provide companies with more time to implement any classification changes resulting from the amendments. The amendments aim to promote consistency in applying the requirements by helping companies determine whether, in the statement of financial position, debt and other liabilities with an uncertain settlement date should be classified as current or non-current. The amendments affect the presentation of liabilities in the statement of financial position and do not change existing requirements around measurement or timing of recognition of any asset, liability, income or expenses, nor the information that entities disclose about those items. Also, the amendments clarify the classification requirements for debt which may be settled by the company issuing own equity instruments. In November 2021, the Board issued an exposure draft (ED), which clarifies how to treat liabilities that are subject to covenants to be complied with, at a date subsequent to the reporting period. In particular, the Board proposes 137 narrow scope amendments to IAS 1 which effectively reverse the 2020 amendments requiring entities to classify as current, liabilities subject to covenants that must only be complied with within the next twelve months after the reporting period, if those covenants are not met at the end of the reporting period. Instead, the proposals would require entities to present separately all non-current liabilities subject to covenants to be complied with only within twelve months after the reporting period. Furthermore, if entities do not comply with such future covenants at the end of the reporting period, additional disclosures will be required. The proposals will become effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2024 and will need be applied retrospectively in accordance with IAS 8, while early adoption is permitted. The Board has also proposed to delay the effective date of the 2020 amendments accordingly, such that entities will not be required to change current practice before the proposed amendments come into effect. These Amendments, including ED proposals, have not yet been endorsed by the EU. The Management is analyzing the impact that these amendments may have on the group financial statements. • IFRS 3 Business Combinations; IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment; IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets as well as Annual Improvements 2018-2020 (Amendments) The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2022 with earlier application permitted. The IASB has issued narrow-scope amendments to the IFRS Standards as follows: o FRS 3 Business Combinations (Amendments) update a reference in IFRS 3 to the Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting without changing the accounting requirements for business combinations. o IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment (Amendments) prohibit a company from deducting from the cost of property, plant and equipment amounts received from selling items produced while the company is preparing the asset for its intended use. Instead, a company will recognise such sales proceeds and related cost in profit or loss. o IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets (Amendments) specify which costs a company includes in determining the cost of fulfilling a contract for the purpose of assessing whether a contract is onerous. o Annual Improvements 2018-2020 make minor amendments to IFRS 1 First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards, IFRS 9 Financial Instruments, IAS 41 Agriculture and the Illustrative Examples accompanying IFRS 16 Leases Management estimates that the amendment will not have material impact on the group financial statements. • IFRS 16 Leases-C ο vid 19 Related Rent Concessions beyond 30 June 2021 (Amendment) The Amendment applies to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 April 2021, with earlier application permitted, including in financial statements not yet authorized for issue at the date the amendment is issued. In March 2021, the Board amended the conditions of the practical expedient in IFRS 16 that provides relief to lessees from applying the IFRS 16 guidance on lease modifications to rent concessions arising as a direct consequence of the covid-19 pandemic. Following the amendment, the practical expedient now applies to rent concessions for which any reduction in lease payments affects only payments originally due on or before 30 June 2022, provided the other conditions for applying the practical expedient are met. This amendment has no material impact on the group financial statements. 138 • IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements and IFRS Practice Statement 2: Disclosure of Accounting policies (Amendments) The Amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023 with earlier application permitted. The amendments provide guidance on the application of materiality judgements to accounting policy disclosures. In particular, the amendments to IAS 1 replace the requirement to disclose ‘significant’ accounting policies with a requirement to disclose ‘material’ accounting policies. Also, guidance and illustrative examples are added in the Practice Statement to assist in the application of the materiality concept when making judgements about accounting policy disclosures. The Amendments have not yet been endorsed by the EU. • IAS 8 Accounting policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors: Definition of Accounting Estimates (Amendments) The amendments become effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023 with earlier application permitted and apply to changes in accounting policies and changes in accounting estimates that occur on or after the start of that period. The amendments introduce a new definition of accounting estimates, defined as monetary amounts in financial statements that are subject to measurement uncertainty. Also, the amendments clarify what changes in accounting estimates are and how these differ from changes in accounting policies and corrections of errors. Management estimates that the amendment will not have material impact on the group financial statements. • IAS 12 Income taxes: Deferred Tax related to Assets and Liabilities arising from a Single Transaction (Amendments) The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023 with earlier application permitted. In May 2021, the Board issued amendments to IAS 12, which narrow the scope of the initial recognition exception under IAS 12 and specify how companies should account for deferred tax on transactions such as leases and decommissioning obligations. Under the amendments, the initial recognition exception does not apply to transactions that, on initial recognition, give rise to equal taxable and deductible temporary differences. It only applies if the recognition of a lease asset and lease liability (or decommissioning liability and decommissioning asset component) give rise to taxable and deductible temporary differences that are not equal. The Amendments have not yet been endorsed by the EU. Management estimates that the amendment will not have material impact on the group financial statements. 2.2 Important judgments, accounting estimates and assumptions The preparation of financial statements according to International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) requires the formulation of judgments, assumptions and estimates by the management that affect assets, liabilities and related disclosures at the reporting date of the financial statements. They also affect the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the reporting date as well as the published revenues and expenses during the period. Actual results may differ from those estimated. Estimates and judgments are based on experience from the past as well as other factors including expectations for future events which are considered reasonable under specific circumstances while they are reassessed continuously with the use of all available information. 139 Judgments, estimates and assumptions During the application of accounting policies, Company’s management applies its judgment based on market information in which it operates. Possible future changes in the current conditions are considered in order for the most proper accounting policy to be applied. Specific amounts which are included in or affect the financial statements and the relevant disclosures are assessed by the Group management in order to proceed in assumptions regarding values or conditions non certain at the preparation of the financial statements. An accounting estimate is considered important when it is significant for the financial position and the results of the Group and it requires difficult, subjective or complex judgments by the Group management and is often a result of uncertain assumptions. The Group evaluates such estimates continuously, based on historical experience, experts consultation, current trends, other methods which are deemed reasonable at the moment, as well as assumptions on how these could alter in the future. Management’s judgment, estimates and assumptions regarding estimates used in accounting policies, are summarized in the following categories: Accounting treatment of liabilities (provisions) regarding aircraft maintenance The Group is committed to satisfy certain maintenance obligations, as prescribed by the contract terms, upon lease termination. During the lease period the Group is obliged to follow the maintenance program required by the airframe and engine constructors. The estimated maintenance cost is charged in group expenses within the lease period, based on the expected maintenance for the airframe, engines and limited life parts using the flight hours or flight cycles. This estimation is based on Group maintenance program and the relevant contracts agreed with maintenance providers (Note 3.19(2)). Impairment IFRS 9 introduces the expected credit loss (“ECL”) approach to be applied on all financial assets measured at amortized cost (“AC”) or at fair value with the corresponding changes allocated to other comprehensive income (“FVTOCI”). Debt Instruments With respect to debt instruments the Group applies the general impairment model, under which the Group assess at each reporting date, whether the credit risk associated to any particular debt instrument has been increased, since its initial recognition, applying in addition the low risk simplification for all investment grade debt securities. Upon a significant increase in credit risk the Group measures lifetime expected credit losses. Note 3.8 Customers and other trade Receivables Τ he Group applies the IFRS 9 simplified approach to measure expected credit losses using a lifetime expected loss allowance for all trade and other receivables. Therefore, the Group measures at each reporting date the loss allowance for its trade and other receivables at an amount equal to their lifetime expected credit losses. Financial assets with contractual payments over 90 days past due, constitute default events, but assess any given creditworthiness information with respect to certain cases, when a contractual claim collection problem is considered possible. 140 The expected credit losses on the trade and other receivables are estimated using a provision matrix based on the Group’s historical experience of credit losses and cash recoveries on defaulted exposures. Note 3.10 Impairment of intangible assets, owned aircrafts, right of use assets and investment in subsidiaries The management examines at each balance sheet date or earlier, if there are indications, whether impairment exists for goodwill (in consolidated level) and intangible assets with indefinite useful life, i.e. slots (in consolidated and stand-alone level) and whether there are impairment indications for: Other intangible assets Owned aircrafts and Right of Use assets Investments in subsidiaries Determining impairment indications requires management to make judgments regarding external and internal factors and the extent to which they affect the recoverability of these assets. If indications of impairment exist, the Company makes an estimate of the recoverable amount. The impairment loss is the amount by which the book value of the cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount. The calculation of the recoverable amount requires estimates regarding future cash flows associated with the investment, business plan, discount and growth rates. Pursuant to COVID 19 pandemic, the management estimates that at 31.12.2021 there are impairment indications. Therefore, an exercise for the recoverable amount of the mentioned assets was performed. More specifically, the impairment test used discounted cash flows, based on the 5-year Group business plan, which is considered as one cash generating unit (CGU). Group management based the business plan preparation to key assumptions, which were those to which the CGU recoverable amount is most sensitive. More specifically, the below key assumptions were used for the cash flow projections: • projected range of USD/EURO exchange rate for a 5-year period (1,13 – 1,20) • projected range of fuel price for a 5-year period ($730 – $740) • projected range of fare fluctuation for a 5-year period (-6% – 1%) • projected range of load factor for a 5-year period (77% – 83%) Future cash flows over the Group 5-year business plan were determined on the basis of an estimated long-term growth rate of 0,25%, which was considered reasonable by the Management. The discount rate used was 9,5%. In the above assumptions, a sensitivity analysis was performed to determine the impact on the recoverable amount due to a possible unfavorable change in these assumptions. No need for impairment occurred, since the CGU recoverable amount exceeded the carrying value at 31.12.2021. (Note 3.1, 3.2, 3.4) 141 Loyalty program revenue recognition The Group estimates the fair value of unredeemed loyalty points (miles) of Miles & Bonus program, by utilizing historical and statistical data. This calculation uses estimates for the expected redemption rate as well as the fair value of the redeemable product. (Note 2.4d, 3.21) Determining lease period with extension option The Group determines as lease period, the contractual lease duration, including any period referring to (a) lease extension option, if it is highly probable that will be exercised or (b) lease termination option, if it is highly probable that will be exercised. The Group, in certain lease agreements, retains the option to extend the lease period. The Group assesses if it is certain that this option will be exercised, considering all the factors that create financial incentive to exercise the renewal option. Subsequently the lease inception date, the Group reassesses the lease period, if a significant event occurs or there is a change in the conditions that could affect the exercise option (or not) of right renewal (such as a change in Group business strategy). Income tax (current & deferred) The measurement of income taxes provisions is heavily based on estimates. There are a lot of transactions for which the accurate calculation of the tax is not possible in the normal course of business. The Company recognizes liability provisions for anticipated tax matters, based on estimates for potential amounts due for additional taxes. When the expected final tax payable is different from the initial estimates in the financial statements when those are finalized, both income tax and provisions for deferred taxation are affected. Moreover, possible effects from the tax audit of previous periods are included in note 3.29 and are recorded in the account ‘Income Tax’ of the Income Statement. Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will occur against which tax losses may be offset and tax credits may be used. The recognition of deferred tax assets requires significant estimates and judgment with respect to future activities and prospects of the Group and the amount and timing of taxable profits. Note 3.6 Fair value of derivatives and other financial instruments / Hedge accounting The Company uses derivatives to manage a series of risks including interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates (EUR/USD) and jet fuel price. Accounting for derivatives, in order to qualify for hedge accounting, requires that at the inception of the arrangement the details of the hedging relationship must be formally documented and the hedged value and the hedging instrument must meet certain requirements. From the beginning of a hedging and thereafter, every quarter the hedging effectiveness is evaluated both retrospectively and prospectively. In cases where the hedging becomes ineffective, it does no longer qualify as a hedge instrument in the future. The fair values of the derivative contracts are calculated using pricing models from an independent platform, making assumptions based on the market, which are confirmed by independent sources. Additional information regarding the use of derivatives is provided in note 3.23. 142 Fair value of financial instruments All assets and liabilities for which the fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements, are categorized according to the hierarchy levels, described below: The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets is determined at each reporting date in relation to the stock market values or values determined by broker offers, without deduction for transaction costs (Hierarchy Level 1). The fair value of financial instruments not traded in active markets is determined using: (i) appropriate valuation techniques for which the data, that have significant impact on the fair value accounted for, are directly or indirectly identifiable (Hierarchy Level 2), (ii) techniques for which the data, that have significant impact on the fair value accounted for, are not easily identified in the markets (Hierarchy Level 3) and may include recent transactions under normal conditions, the current fair value of another instrument similar to these instruments, discounted cash flow analysis or other valuation models. For assets and liabilities recognized in the financial statements at fair value, the Group determines whether there are transfers made during the year between the hierarchy levels at the end of each year. Contingencies The Company is involved in litigation and claims in its normal course of operations. Management, based on experience and the fact that the trial procedures are still in process, estimates that any resulting settlements would not materially affect its financial position and operations. However, the determination of contingent liabilities relating to the litigation and claims is a complex process that involves judgments as to the possible outcomes and interpretation of laws and regulations. Future changes to the judgments or the interpretations may increase or decrease the Company’s contingent liabilities in the future. Contingent assets / liabilities balances are analyzed in note 3.30. Useful life of depreciable assets The Group management evaluates the useful life of depreciable assets in every period. On December 31st 2021 the management believes that the useful lives of the assets are in line with their expected usage. The depreciable amounts are analyzed in notes 3.1 and 3.2. Intangible assets useful life can be considered definite or indefinite. Post-retirement benefits to personnel Post-retirement obligations are determined using actuarial valuations. An actuarial valuation requires the management to proceed in various assumptions, such as the future salary increases etc. At each reporting date, when this provision is revised, management tries to more precisely assess these assumptions. See note 3.16 Inventories provision The Company periodically assesses the existing inventory and, if it is necessary, establishes a provision for spare parts impairment. The respective exercise is performed in cooperation with the Technical Department. Any inventories decrease to Net Realizable Value (NRV) and any loss occurred is recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive Income when occurred. 143 Discount rate Future lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease, if that rate can be readily determined. Otherwise, the Company and the Group use the incremental borrowing rate. A single discount rate is applied to a portfolio of leases with similar characteristics, such as the lease duration and the transaction currency, evaluating specific market financial ratios and other bond loan issued by companies of similar creditworthiness. In addition, the carrying amount of lease liabilities is remeasured if there is a modification, a change in the lease term, a change in the lease payments or a change in the assessment of an option to purchase the underlying asset. 2.3 Foreign Currency Translation The Group financial statements are presented in Euros (€) which is its operating currency. Foreign currency transactions are converted into the operating currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the conversion of remaining balances at year-end exchange rates, are recognized in the income statement in the accounts “financial income” & “financial expense”, respectively. Non-monetary items that are measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value was determined. 2.4 Revenue and expenses recognition The Company and the Group recognize revenues in order to reflect the transfer of the promised goods or services to customers in an amount equal to the consideration they consider fair to collect for these goods or services. Revenue from contracts with customers is recognized when all of the following criteria are met: • The parties to the contract have approved the contract and are committed to perform their respective obligations • The Company or the Group can identify each party’s rights regarding the goods or services to be transferred • The Company or the Group can identify the payment terms for the goods or services to be transferred • The contract has a commercial substance and • It is possible that the Company or the Group will collect the consideration to which it will be entitled in exchange for the goods or services that will be transferred to the customer. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the benefit received, net of tax, credits, trade discounts and airport fees. All taxes and related charges collected by the Group from passengers on behalf of third parties (e.g. airport taxes) are recorded on a net basis, as the Group acts as an agent. The amount of revenue is estimated that it can be measured reliably only when all contingent liabilities related to it have been resolved. The Company's respective trade receivables are mainly paid in advance or have a limited maturity (up to 3 months). 144 (a) Scheduled and charter flights The Company and the Group operate in the sector of public airline transportations, providing transport of passengers and goods inside and outside the Greek territory, conducting scheduled and unscheduled flights. Therefore, it recognizes revenues when it satisfies the performance obligation of rendering the service to the customer at a given point in time. The performance obligation is satisfied when the flight is flown and the passenger is uplifted. With the adoption of IFRS 15 there has been no change in the revenue recognition from scheduled and charter flights. The Group separates other obligations that may be included in the contract and constitute a separate performance obligation and determines the proportion of revenue attributable to them (i.e. customer loyalty miles, see (d)) (b) Ancillary Services Specific categories of ancillary services, such as baggage fees, reissuing tickets fees, "fast track" and "chargeable seat" services, etc., are considered to be a modification of the contract and are directly related the flight performance. Therefore, they are recognized as revenue when the flight is flown. Under IAS 18, the major part of these ancillary services was recognized at the transaction date. (c) Unused tickets Passengers pay for their ticket, but do not always exercise its right, i.e. the ticket remains unused. Recognition of unused tickets as revenue is based on the expected breakage amount of tickets remaining unused in proportion to the pattern of rights exercised by the passenger based on historical information. The portion of revenues that has not been recognized based on the said exercise is transferred to a contract liability account and recognized by the company when the likelihood of the passengers exercising their remining rights becomes remote. Prior to the adoption of IFRS 15, revenues from unused tickets were recognized only when the likelihood of the passengers exercising their remining rights becomes remote. (d) Customer loyalty program The Company has a loyalty program for its customers, whose members can earn points (miles) through flights with the Group’s airline companies, Star Alliance companies or through transactions with other partners. Part of ticket revenue attributable to earned miles reduces revenue recognized when the flight is flown and is transferred to contract liability account. The Company determines the separate sale price of this deferred income using the expected cost-plus margin approach. The redemption rate is calculated based on an actuarial study, using historical data of passengers’ behavior in relation to mileage redemption. The obligation shall be reduced with the corresponding recognition of the revenue, when the actual miles are redeemed by passengers, which in substance is when the obligation performance is satisfied. In the event of non-redeeming miles through the Company’s channels, the related charges received from other partners are netting of the related revenue, since the Company acts as an agent. There has been no significant change in the recognition of this revenue since the adoption of IFRS 15, which is though coincided with the use of an actuarial study by the Company, in order to assess more accurately the future behavior of passengers in terms of mileage redemption. 145 (e) Goods The sale of goods refers to product sales on board. Related revenue is recognized at the transaction date, when the performance obligation is satisfied, and the customer takes control of the asset. The adoption of IFRS 15 did not affect the recognition of travel value revenue. (f) Interest Income Interest income is calculated using the method of the effective interest rate, which is the rate discounting future flows for the expected duration of the financial instrument at the net book value of the asset or liability. Incremental costs of obtaining a contract with customers The Company and the Group incur various costs in order to obtain a contract (sale of a ticket) with a customer, which they would not have incurred if the contract haven’t been obtained (sales commission etc). These direct sales costs are considered as incremental contract costs and are directly related to the contract. They increase the resources that will be used to fulfill the performance obligation in the future and are expected to be recovered. These costs are initially recognized in Advances of current assets. Then, they are allocated to the corresponding flight performance obligation and are amortized when this flight is flown in the income statement. See note 3.11 With respect to baggage claims paid to passengers for damages occurred, these amounts are recognized against respective revenue. Other Expenses Expenses are recognized in the income statement on an accrual basis. Interest expense is recognized on a time- proportion basis using the effective interest rate. 2.5 Intangible Assets Intangible assets include airports slots, software licenses, Olympic Air brand and goodwill. Airport slots are assets with an indefinite useful life, given the Group satisfies their minimum use, they remain available for future use and therefore not amortized but subject to an impairment test annually. Exercise for impairment indications is mainly based on available slots trading data. Software licenses are valued at historic cost less amortization and/or any other possible impairment. Amortization of intangible assets is calculated applying the straight-line method in the useful life of the assets which is between 1 to 10 years. Goodwill is an asset with an indefinite useful life, therefore it is not amortized, but is subject to impairment testing annually. It derives from the company’s acquisitions and is calculated as a balance between the acquisition price and the fair value of the net assets acquired. (Note 3.1) Useful life for Intangible Assets. 146 Category Useful life Software 5 years Olympic Air brand name Contract terms (49 years) Other 10 years Intangible assets impairment If the Group is unable to estimate the recoverable amount of an asset for which there is an indication of impairment, it determines the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use. Net selling price is considered as the possible proceeds from the sale of an asset in an arm's length transaction in which the parties have full knowledge and adhere voluntarily, after deducting any additional direct cost of disposal of the asset, while value in use is the present value of the estimated future cash flows expected to be realized by the continuing use of an asset and its disposal at the end of its estimated useful life. Reversal of an impairment loss on the value of assets recognized in prior years (except goodwill impairment) is made only when there is sufficient evidence that the impairment no longer exists or has decreased. In such cases the above reversal is recognized as income. 2.6 Tangible Assets Tangible assets are recognized in the financial statements at acquisition cost, less accumulated depreciation and loss of impairment, if any. The acquisition cost includes all the directly attributable expenses for the acquisition of the asset. Subsequent expenditure is added to the carrying value of the tangible asset or is recognized as a separate fixed asset, only if it is expected to increase the future economic benefits for the Company and their cost can be accurately and reliably measured. Depreciation of tangible fixed assets (other than Land which is not depreciated) is calculated using the straight-line method over their useful life, as follows: Category Useful life Buildings 10-20 years Machinery 6-22 year Aircrafts 20-25 years Vehicles 3-5 years Aircraft/airport equipment 3-8 years Other equipment 5 years The residual values and useful economic life of tangible fixed assets are reassessed at each reporting period. Upon sale of a tangible assets, any difference between the proceeds and the book value is recognized as gain or loss to the income statement. 147 Tangible assets impairment If the Group is unable to estimate the recoverable amount of an asset for which there is an indication of impairment, it determines the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use. Net selling price is considered as the possible proceeds from the sale of an asset in an arm's length transaction in which the parties have full knowledge and adhere voluntarily, after deducting any additional direct cost of disposal of the asset, while value in use is the present value of the estimated future cash flows expected to be realized by the continuing use of an asset and its disposal at the end of its estimated useful life. Reversal of an impairment loss on the value of assets recognized in prior years is made only when there is sufficient evidence that the impairment no longer exists or has decreased. In such cases the above reversal is recognized as income. 2.7 Pre-delivery payments Pre-delivery payments in foreign currency are paid by the Company to Airbus in order to finance the aircraft manufacture, in accordance to the contractual terms of the agreement. Such advances are recognized at cost and classified as non-current assets. The Company is likely to enter into a sale and leaseback agreement in the future with lessors who will finance these aircrafts in full. According to these agreement’s clauses, the right and the commitment to purchase the aircraft is assigned to the lessor on the date of its delivery. At the delivery date, the lessor pays the full purchase price and the Company collects the full amount already paid in advance. Consequently, the related non-current asset is derecognized, and any gain or loss is recognized in the statement of comprehensive income. The present value of the pre-delivery payments relating to future sale and leaseback agreements is determined based on discounted cash flows and is translated using the prevailing exchange rate at each reporting date. These advances are classified in Advances for future aircraft leases in Current and Non-Current Assets. In case of no sale and leaseback agreement, the pre-delivery payments are considered part of the final aircraft purchase price. As such, they are classified in the Tangible assets, translated in the foreign exchange rate at the date of the transaction. 2.8 Financial Assets Initial Recognition of financial assets The Group measures financial assets on their initial recognition at their acquisition fair value. The Group recognizes initially trade receivables without a significant financing component at their transaction price. Classification and Measurement of financial assets All financial assets that fall within the scope of IFRS 9 are measured, subsequently to their initial recognition, at amortized cost or fair value. Accordingly, Company’s financial assets are classified in one of the following categories: 148 • Amortized cost (“AC”) • Fair Value through other comprehensive income (“FVTOCI”) • Fair Value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”) The basis of their classification and subsequent measurement depends on the following two conditions: • Entity’s business model for managing the financial assets ((“Business Model Assessment”) • Entity’s contractual cash flow characteristics (SPPI test) The business model of the Group refers to how the Group manages its financial assets in order to generate cash flows and determines whether cash flows will result from collecting contractual cash flows, selling financial assets or both. The business model assessment is performed based on scenarios that the Group reasonably expects to occur, and not based on “worst case” or “stress case” scenarios. The SPPI test, according to which the asset’s contractual cash flows should be determined that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding, is the second condition for classification of a financial asset in either AC or FVTOCI categories by the Group. In particular, for a debt instrument to be measured at AC or FVTOCI, its contractual terms must give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. Amortized cost (“AC”) A financial asset is measured at AC only if both of the following conditions are met, unless it is designated as at FVTPL on initial recognition: i. The financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows (“HTC”) and, ii. The contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding Accordingly, the Group classifies financial assets at AC, when the financial assets both are held within a business model with the objective to hold them until maturity, collecting mostly of their contractual cash flows and these financial assets give rise to cash flows consisting only of payments of principal and interest. All financial assets that fail the SPPI test are subsequently measured at FVTPL; except for investments in equity instruments not held for trading that are elected at initial recognition to be measured at FVTOCI. The Group subsequent to their initial recognition measures financial assets under this category at amortized cost using the effective interest. These financial assets are subject to the impairment requirements as per IFRS 9. Amortized cost of a financial asset is defined as the amount at which the financial asset is measured at initial recognition minus the principal repayments, plus or minus the cumulative amortization using the effective interest method of any difference between that initial amount and the maturity amount and adjusted for any loss allowance. 149 Fair Value through Other Comprehensive Income (“FVTOCI”) A financial asset is measured at FVTOCI only if both of the following conditions are met, unless it is designated as at FVTPL on initial recognition: i. The financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets. ii. the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. Accordingly, the Group classifies financial assets at FVOCI, when are held within a business model with objective to hold the financial assets to collect the contractual cash flows, but also the Group expects to sell these financial assets when this is necessary (e.g. to fulfill a specific need for liquidity). In addition, these financial assets give rise to cash flows consisting only of payments of principal and interest. The Company subsequent to their initial recognition measures financial assets under this category at fair value, with changes in their fair value recognized in other comprehensive income (“OCI”), except for: • interest income • foreign exchange gains or losses • impairment gains or losses Are recognized in profit and loss and computed in the same manner as for financial assets measured at AC. Any fair value changes recognized in OCI are transferred to profit and loss when the debt security is derecognized. Fair Value through Profit and Loss (“FVTPL”) A financial asset shall be measured at fair value through profit or loss unless it is measured at amortized cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income. Any financial asset that fails the SPPI test is classified by the Group, at FVTPL (except if it is an investment in equity instrument designated in FVTOCI). The Group classifies the financial assets that are not held within the “hold to collect” or “hold to collect and sell business models”, at FVTPL. Since the option to designate a financial asset at fair value in its initial recognition is irrevocable, if a financial asset is designated as at FVTPL at initial recognition, the Group does not reclassify out of FVTPL to AC or FVTOCI, if the business model changes. Financial assets at FVTPL are carried in the statement of financial position at fair value with changes in the fair vale between reporting dates in the statement of profit and loss. Financial assets at FVTPL are not subject to the impairment requirements . Equity Instruments 150 By default, the Group classifies equity participations under the scope of IFRS 9 at FVTPL unless; the Group makes an irrevocable election/designation at initial recognition for particular investments in equity to present subsequent changes in fair value in other comprehensive income. Only dividend income that does not clearly represent a recovery as part of the cost of the investment is recognized in profit or loss, with all other gains and losses recognized in OCI. These gains and losses remain permanently in equity and are not subsequently reclassified to profit or loss, following derecognition. Reclassification of Financial assets A financial asset is reclassified by the Group, only when Group’s business model for managing financial assets changes. In general, a change in the business model is expected to be rare and occurs when the Group either begins or ceases to perform an activity that is significant to its operations. An example of business model’s change is when a business line is acquired, disposed of or terminated. Changes in intention related to particular financial, the temporary disappearance of a particular market for financial assets or a transfer of financial assets between parts of the Group with different business models, are not considered by the Group changes in business model. The reclassification is applied prospectively from the reclassification date, which is the first day of the first reporting period following the change in the business model, therefore previously recognized gains, losses (including impairment gains or losses) or interest are not restated. Financial derivatives and hedge accounting The Company has not adopted the requirements of IFRS 9, with respect to hedge accounting, and continues to apply IAS 39. All financial derivative assets are initially recognized at the fair value on the trade date and subsequently at their fair value. Financial derivative instruments are recognized in assets when their fair value is positive and in liabilities when their fair value is negative. Their fair value is calculated from the value they have on an active market or through other valuation techniques when an active market does not exist for these financial instruments. The profit or loss recognition depends whether a derivative has been determined as a hedging item and if hedging exists based on the nature of the hedged item. Profit or loss arising from the change of the fair value of derivatives that are not recognized as hedging items, is recognized in the income statement. The Company is using hedge accounting when at the commencement of the hedging transaction, and the subsequent use of financial derivatives can determine and justify the hedging relationship between the hedged item and the instrument used for hedging, relating to its risk management policy and strategy for hedging. Moreover hedge accounting is used only when it is expected that the hedging strategy will be highly effective and reliably and continuously calculated, for the periods it was intended for, as per the reconciliation of the movements in the fair value or the cash flows resulting from the hedged risk. The Company is hedging cash flows using financial derivative instruments. Cash flow hedging With cash flow hedging the Company is covering risks coming from an asset, liability or future transaction that cause fluctuations in the cash flows and which could have an impact to the period’s result. For financial derivatives 151 classified as hedging items for cash flow hedging purposes, special accounting treatments are required. In order to fulfill the hedge accounting requirements, certain conditions relating to justification, hedging effectiveness and reliable calculation must be met. The changes in the fair value of the effective part of the hedging derivative are recognized in the equity while the ineffective part is recognized in the comprehensive income statement. The accumulated balances in the equity are transferred in the income statement of the periods where the hedging derivatives are recognized. In particular, amounts relating to hedging of fuel prices increase or decrease fuel expenses, amounts relating to hedging of foreign exchange rate increase or decrease relative expenses and amounts relating to hedging of interest rates increase or decrease finance costs. When a financial instrument expires, is either sold or exercised without being replaced, or when a hedged item does no longer fulfill the criteria of hedge accounting, cumulative gain or loss remains in equity and it is recognized when the transaction occurs. If the hedged transaction is not expected to occur, gains or losses are recognized directly in the income statement. 2.9 Inventories The inventories include aircraft spare parts and goods. The purchase price includes all the costs incurred to bring the inventories at their current location and condition, less any discounts. The inventories cost is calculated using the weighted average cost method every reporting period. Aircraft spare parts of significant value that be can be utilized for over a period of one year are capitalized in tangible assets. Otherwise, they are expenses as incurred in the statement of income. On the balance sheet date, the inventories are measured at the lower of valuation cost and net realizable value (NRV). The Company at the end of each fiscal year considers any case of obsolescence of inventory and establishes any provision or write off. 2.10 Leases At inception of a contract, the Group assesses whether the contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. The Group as a lessee Right of use asset (ROU) At the date the asset is available for use, the Group recognizes a right of use asset and a lease liability. The cost of the right-of-use asset shall comprise: • the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability; • any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, less any lease incentives received; • any initial direct costs incurred by the Group; and 152 • an estimate of costs to be incurred by the Group in dismantling and removing the underlying asset, restoring the site on which it is located or restoring the underlying asset to the condition required by the terms and conditions of the lease, unless those costs are incurred to produce inventories. The Group incurs the obligation for those costs either at the commencement date or as a consequence of having used the underlying asset during a particular period. Right of use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term and the estimated useful lives of the assets. If ownership of the leased asset transfers to the Group at the end of the lease term or the cost reflects the exercise of a purchase option, depreciation is calculated using the estimated useful life of the asset. The right-of-use assets are also subject to impairment. Lease liabilities At the commencement date of the lease, the Group recognizes lease liabilities measured at the present value of lease payments to be made over the lease term. The lease payments include fixed payments less any lease incentives receivable. The lease payments also include the exercise price of a purchase option reasonably certain to be exercised by the Group and payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the Group exercising the option to terminate. The group determines the long-term and short-term portion of a lease liability based on its settlement date. In calculating the present value of lease payments, the Group uses its incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement date in case the interest rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable. After the commencement date, the amount of lease liabilities is increased to reflect the accretion of interest and reduced for the lease payments made. In addition, the carrying amount of lease liabilities is remeasured if there is a modification, a change in the lease term, a change in the lease payments or a change in the assessment of an option to purchase the underlying asset. Exemptions The Company and the Group decided to apply the exemptions provided by the standard concerning the short-term leases (duration of 12 months or less, without purchase option of the underlying asset). Lease payments associated with those leases are recognized as an expense on either a straight-line basis over the lease term or another systematic basis. Furthermore, the Company and the Group decided to exclude initial direct costs from the measurement of the right of use asset. Group as a lessor Leases in which the Group does not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of an asset are classified as operating leases. Rental income arising is accounted for on a straight-line basis over the lease terms. 153 2.11 Cash and cash equivalents - Restricted Cash Cash and cash equivalents include cash at bank, petty cash as well as short term highly liquid deposits with an original maturity of three months or less. Restricted cash refer to cash collaterals with counterparties that derivative contracts have been signed, in order to offset exchange rate or fuel price fluctuations. 2.12 Share Capital Share capital is determined using the nominal value of shares that have been issued. Share premium reserve includes all premiums more than the nominal price received at the date of the issue. A share capital increase through cash includes any share premium during the initial share capital issuance. Any cost related to the capital increase or any tax benefit is deducted from the product of the share capital increase. Retained earnings include the result of the current and the previous periods. 2.13 Employee benefits due to retirement and other short-term benefits to employees Short term benefits Short term employee benefits in cash or in kind are recognized as expense when incurred. Any unpaid amount is recognized as liability. Retirement benefits The Company has established both defined benefit and defined contribution plans. Typically, defined benefit schemes provide for a benefit the employee will receive on retirement, based on factors such age, service years and compensation received. The balance sheet liability in respect of a defined benefit plan is the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the balance sheet date less the fair value of the plan’s assets. The defined benefit obligation is measured annually by independent actuaries using the projected unit credit method. The current value of the defined benefits is estimated by discounting the future expected cash outflows (using the interest rate of European bonds index Iboxx AA Corporate Overall 10+ EUR indices), issued in the currency the benefits will be paid at and have similar maturity terms to those of the retirement’s liability. The actuarial gains or losses that result from adjustments based on empirical adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are recorded in other comprehensive income and through it in retained earnings. A defined contribution plan is a retirement scheme where the Company pays defined contributions, to an independent institution (the fund) that operates the contributions and provides the benefits, on a compulsory or non-compulsory basis. The Company has no other legal or any other type of obligation for further contributions if the fund is unable to meets its contract requirements and provide to the employees the agreed benefits for current or past services. Prepaid contributions are recognized as assets to the extent the cash return or decrease is expected in the future payments (Note 3.16). 154 2.14 Financial Liabilities Financial liabilities include derivative liabilities, trade and other payable liabilities, borrowings and lease liabilities measured at amortized cost. Financial liabilities are recognized when the Company becomes a party to the contractual agreements of the instrument and derecognized when the obligation under the liability is discharged, cancelled or expires. Borrowings provide a short-term or long-term financing source to the Group. They are initially recognized at cost, which includes the initial proceeds less any issuance cost. Subsequent of initial recognition, borrowings are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. All interest related charges are recognized as an expense in “financial expense” in the income statement. Trade payables are recognized initially at their nominal value and subsequently valued at their amortized cost less any settlement payments. Dividends payable to the shareholders are in included in “Other short-term liabilities” when they are approved by the Shareholders’ General Meeting. When a current financial liability is exchanged with another of different type and terms but from the same originator, this is dealt as termination of the initial liability and commencement of a new one. Any difference in the book values is recognized in the income statement. 2.15 Income tax and deferred tax Current Income Tax Current income tax receivables / liabilities comprise of obligations to / or claims from tax authorities, based on taxable income of the current or previous reporting periods that have not been settled until the balance sheet date. They are measured at tax rates and tax laws that are enacted on the respective financial year based on the taxable profits for the period. All differences in tax assets / liabilities are charged to the income statement for the period as part of the income tax expense. Deferred tax Deferred income tax is calculated with the net liability method focuses on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities of the financial statements and the corresponding tax bases. Deferred tax assets are re-examined at every balance sheet date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer possible that enough taxable income will be available to allow the use of benefit (in total or partially) of the deferred tax asset. Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all temporal tax differences except when the deferred tax liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at tax rates that are expected to be enacted when the asset will be recovered or the liability settled taking into consideration the tax rates already enacted by the time of the balance sheet date. 155 Most changes in deferred tax assets or liabilities are recognized as tax revenue - expense. Changes in deferred tax assets or liabilities related to a change in the value of asset or liability recognized in equity through the statement of other comprehensive income or directly, are recognized in equity through the statement of comprehensive income or directly respectively. The Company recognizes a previously unrecognized deferred tax asset to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will allow the recovery of the deferred tax asset. The Group is subject to periodic tax audits by the tax authorities. In case of complex and uncertain tax treatments, the Group Management proceeds with judgements and estimates for the determination of the income tax as well as of the deferred tax. If deemed necessary, the Group seeks for experts’ advice, in order to identify the most proper tax treatment, as well as to recognize the adequate provision. When the Group proceeds with the payment of imposed amounts, in order to appeal against the tax authorities and assesses that the outcome of the case will be favorable, the respective payments are posted as receivables, to be offset against potential liabilities in case of a negative outcome or to be refunded in case of a positive outcome. Upon finalization of said cases, any difference in relation to the provisions is recognized in the income statement. 2.16 Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets Provisions are recognized when the Company has present legal or assumed obligations as a result of past events, their settlement is probable through an outflow of economic resources from the Company and the liability can be estimated reliably. The time frame or the resources’ outflow may be uncertain. A present obligation stems from the existence of a legal or assumed obligation resulting from past events such as warranties, legal disputes or onerous contracts. When the total or part of the estimated provision settlement amount is expected to be paid by a third party, the remuneration will be recognized only if it is more probable than not that the remuneration will be paid by the financial entity. The remuneration amount recognized cannot exceed the provision amount. The expense relating to a provision is presented in the income statement, net of the provision initially formed. A provision is used only for the purpose it was initially formed. Provisions are evaluated at each balance sheet date and adjusted accordingly in order to depict the best most current estimation. Provisions are valued at the balance sheet date and are adjusted in order to reflect the present value of the obligation’s expected settlement cost. In such cases where the possible economic resources outflow as a result of present obligation is not probable or the amount or the provision cannot be reliably estimated no provision for contingent obligations is recognized in the financial statements however they are disclosed if the probability of economic resources outflows is high. Contingent assets are recognized in the financial statements but are disclosed when the economic resources inflow is probable. Possible economic resources inflows for the Company that do not meet the conditions for an asset are considered as contingent assets. 2.17 Government grants Government grants related to expenses are recognised in profit or loss on a systematic basis over the periods in which the Group recognises as expenses the related costs for which the grants are intended to compensate. A government grant that becomes receivable as compensation for expenses or losses already incurred or for the purpose of giving immediate financial support to the entity with no future related costs, shall be recognised in profit or loss of the period in which it becomes receivable. 156 2.18 Operating Segments The Group is managed as one business unit that provides high-quality air transport within and outside the Greek territory. Operations are monitored and managed by the Board of Directors, which acts as the Chief Operating Decision Maker - CODM. For more efficient decision-making, CODM is provided with all necessary information (route revenue, available resources, competition analysis), which is evaluated for the entire network, with the goal of maximizing the overall financial results and not to improve the results of a particular route. Finally, it should be noted that profitability is measured based on the result, profit or loss, from operating activities before income tax, without taking into account the financial results and extraordinary items. 157 3. Notes to the Financial Statements 3.1 Intangible Assets As at 31.12.2021 intangible assets amounted to € €27.083,02 and € 42.526,20 for Company and the Group, respectively. The Group performs its annual impairment test of goodwill, amounted to €40 mil, since the acquisition of Olympic Air, as of December 31 of the current year or earlier, if an impairment indication exists. As of 31.12.2021, the Group Management performed intangible assets impairment test, considering that the effect of the coronavirus pandemic in group financial figures is an impairment indication. In the context of this exercise, the management assess that these assets do not generate independent cash flows and as such they should be tested for impairment in Group level, which is considered as one cash generating unit (CGU). Key assumptions used for the impairment exercise are analyzed in Note 2.2. There was no need of impairment, since the CGU recoverable amount highly exceeded its current book value at 31/12/2021.

Based on the above decision, the way in which the basic principles of IAS 19 were applied in Greece in the past, is different, and consequently, according to what is defined in the “IASB Due Process Handbook (par. 8.6 )”, entities that prepare their financial statements in accordance with IFRS are required to amend their accounting policy accordingly. The Company and the Group, until the issuance of the agenda decision, applied IAS 19, distributing the benefits, defined by article 8 of L.3198/1955, L.2112/1920, and its amendment by L. 4093/2012, in the period from the recruitment until the completion of 16 years of work, following the scale of L.4093/2012. The application of this final decision in the attached financial statements, has as a result now the distribution of benefits in the last 16 years until the date of retirement of employees, following the scale of L.4093/2012. The Commission Decision is assessed as a change in accounting policy and is not treated as an accounting error, in accordance with the provisions of paragraphs 19-22 of IAS 8. The change in accounting policy is applied retrospectively from 1.1.2020, with a corresponding adjustment of the beginning balance of each affected equity item for 2020 and the other comparative amounts for each previous period presented, as if the new accounting policy has always been in use.

The procedure is the following: Evaluation of risks associated with the activities and operations of the Group Design of a methodology and selection of appropriate financial products to reduce risks Execution / implementation, in accordance with the procedure approved by the management Foreign currency risk The Group due to the nature of the industry is exposed to variations in foreign currency exchange rate which arise mainly from US Dollar. This kind of risk arises mainly from transactions in foreign currency. The Group’s exposure to foreign exchange risk varies during the period according to the seasonal volume of transactions in foreign currency. To manage this kind of risk the Group enters into forward currency exchange contracts with financial organizations. Interest rate risk The Group’s policy is to minimize interest rate cash flow risk exposure on long – term financing. With relation to the above risk the Group has hedged a portion of its financial leases obligations. 198 Jet fuel risk The Group is exposed to the fluctuations of the price of oil which directly influences the price of jet fuel. To manage this risk the Group enters into derivative contracts on oil products in order to hedge part of its projected jet fuel needs.

In particular, bonds and shares are traded in active markets and they are measured at their market price at the balance sheet date. Hedging derivatives are measured using international pricing platforms. Apart from the above, the management estimates that all other financial assets and liabilities are presented at fair value at 31.12.2021, either due to their short-term nature or because they have floating interest rates. Credit risk The maximum exposure to credit risk, without taking into consideration any letters of guarantee and security deposits, is as follows: Company Group Classes of assets 31.12.2021 31.12.2020 31.12.2021 31.12.2020 Cash and cash equivalents 370.503,00 405.517,50 442.586,58 466.160,35 Financial Assets 32.998,31 33.464,83 32.998,31 33.464,83 Derivatives assets 28.213,93 1.595,67 28.213,93 1.595,67 Trade and other receivables 80.116,87 68.340,47 115.720,67 85.419,33 Total 511.832,11 508.918,46 619.519,49 586.640,18 The management considers that all the above financial assets are of high credit quality. In order to be protected against the credit risk, the Group monitors on a regular basis its trading receivables and whenever necessary, assesses the insurance of the receivables collection. Possible credit risk also exists in cash and cash equivalents and in derivative contracts. The risk may arise from the possibility of the counterparty becoming unable to meet its obligations towards the Group. To minimize this risk, 203 the Group examines regularly its degree of exposure to every individual financial institution. As far as it concerns its deposits, the Group is dealing only with reputable financial institutions of high credit ratings. Liquidity risk Liquidity risk is managed effectively by maintaining sufficient cash levels. The Group manages its liquidity by maintaining adequate cash levels as well as ensuring the provision of credit facilities not only from financial institutions but also from suppliers, always in relation to its operating, investing and financing requirements. It is noted that as at 31.12.2021 the Group had a cash position of € 442.586,58mil. securing its ability to settle the short-term and medium-term liabilities.

The Company is in total compliance with law. 3.35 Commitments At 22.06.2018 the Company signed Aircraft Purchase Agreement with Airbus S.A.S. which provides for the acquisition of a total of 30 new generation aircraft of the A320neo family, two types of A320neo and A321neo. Aircraft deliveries begun within the second half of 2020 (2x aircraft), while future deliveries have agreed to follow: 7x aircraft in 2022, 5x aircraft in 2023, 7x aircraft in 2024, 5x aircraft in 2025 and 4x aircraft in 2026. The price of the above purchase agreement is based on the Airbus fuselage and engines public pricelist, with further discounts agreed by the parties. This amount is adjusted through an annual adjustment clause, designed to increase the price of each aircraft, by applying a mathematical formula that reflects the changes in the prevailing economic conditions. Prices are depending on the engine selection, the weights selected and any type of aircraft configuration. In addition, the Company entered into lease agreements for 10x aircraft within 2022-2024, of 12-year lease period. The Company has also agreed sale and lease back agreements, relating to the title transfer and the corresponding lease agreement of 12 aircrafts scheduled to be delivered within 2022-2024, with a 12-year lease period. The lease commitments will depend on (1) aircraft delivery time, (2) US interest rates at delivery, (3) estimated lease rental future escalation rate agreed among all counterparties (4) the Euro/US dollar exchange rate at the delivery date and (5) the aircraft type. On 24.12.2019, the Company has signed the following agreements with International Aero Engines LLC : • Engine Purchase and Support Agreement including manufacturer’s warranties and guarantees for the engines included in the Purchase Agreement with Airbus dated 22 June 2018 and for four spare engines PW1127GA-JM and two spare engines PW1133GA-JM. The agreed introductory assistance credits with IAE form the final net price of the Airbus aircraft included in the above mentioned agreement. 206 • Engine Fleet Management Program Agreement regarding 45 to 55 Airbus A320neo and A321neo, powered with PW1100G-JM engines which includes the aircraft ordered to Airbus under the Purchase Agreement dated 22 June 2018, the aircraft to be directly delivered from lessors and 6 spare engines PW1100G-JM. The Engine Fleet Management Program Agreement includes all the key terms of engines maintenance based on their flight activity. 3.36 Dividends During the Regular General Assembly, dated 15 th July 2021, it was resolved the non-distribution of dividend from 2020. 3.37 Subsequent Events The Group has also proceeded with its turboprop’s fleet restructuring. The Group has agreed the early termination and the redelivery to the lessor of the 8 Q400 aircraft. The initial lease agreements were expiring in June 2023 and with the new agreement all 8 Q400 aircraft will be redelivered within the first half of 2022. At the same time, the Group has entered into an agreement for the purchase of three ATR72-600 type aircraft, one of which has already been delivered and the other two are expected to be delivered within the first half of 2022. In addition, the Group has also agreed with lessors, the leases of 6 ATR72-600 aircraft with competitive terms, two of which have already been delivered and the rest are expected to be delivered within the first half of 2022. The recent Russian invasion to Ukraine has caused the cancellation of all flights from / to these countries, nevertheless their contribution in the overall flight activity for 2022 is not considered as material for the Group (less than 3% of total estimated passengers for 2022) and the whole market (2% of total passengers’ arrivals) The potential additional impact could include the worsening of the market conditions but at this stage it difficult to predict if and in which degree the passengers buying power or willingness to travel could be affected, taking also in consideration the increase in energy prices and the inflation increase. 3.38 Auditor’s fees Auditors’ fees for 2021 was € 260k (2020: € 285k).
