Olympic Air Winter 2011/12 routes

Here is the winter schedule of Olympic Air for Rhodes. The Athens-Rhodes route has 2-3 daily flights, while the Rhodes-Heraklion continues on daily basis but with some morning flights, at last. Thessaloniki, on the other hand, switches for the winter from daily service to five per week.
UPDATE: Routes to nearby islands have been uploaded.
UPDATE 27/10: Some minor changes in the three basic routes from Rhodes. Olympic now offers six weekly flights to Thessaloniki instead of five while twice per week the route schedule moves earlier in the morning, an A319 replaces every Friday the standard A320 assigned during the morning flight in the Athens-Rhodes route and finally we 've added Cyprus Air flights in the Rhodes-Heraklion schedule as there is a codeshare agreement between Olympic and Cyprus.
