Aegean Airlines / Olympic Air
Aegean has operated a base at KLX since March 2013 and deploys seasonal line-maintenance engineers (from Athens) to summer bases incl. Kalamata, per Aegean's own technical-base description and Wikipedia. CAPA lists 'Aegean Airlines MRO' for KLX. Note: KLX is not a permanent technical base (those are Athens, Thessaloniki, Heraklion); the previously claimed line-maintenance phone ••• traced only to an AI-generated source with a wrong (non-Kalamata) area code and is dropped as unverifiable.
