Athens Airways was a Greek regional airline, headquartered in Koropi, Athens. The airline used to connect Alexandroupoli, Athens and Thessaloniki with some Greek islands, as well offering chartered flights. The airline was founded in 2008 and launched scheduled flights on 31 January 2009.

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. Later that year, by early September and after concluding its summer schedule, the airline ceased operations without any notice.

Athens Airways was the first Greek airline to offer a 20 percent discount to all tariff categories for passengers aged 12 to 24, soldiers without boarding pass, and students up to the age of 28, as well as a 15 percent discount on return flights.

Athens Airways served the following domestic Greek destinations (as of 17 June 2010):
