Additional Notes

The textures provided here include only the repaint files, which means you will need the freeware base model (default Boeing 737-800) found in the Fly Away Simulation library. For those interested in a deeper experience, familiarize yourself with Aegean Airlines’ real operations. Although based in Greece, the carrier extends its network to diverse destinations across Europe, thus offering opportunities to replicate genuine flight schedules in the simulator.
