In late May 2010 the Greek Civil Aviation Authority stripped Athens Airways of the right to serve a number of government-subsidised routes. Thιs was due to unexplained delays and cancellations by Athens Airways.[9] Later that year, by early September[specify] and after concluding its summer schedule, the airline ceased operations without any notice.[10]
