Athens 1 October 2009.
New York, 29 September 2009:
I.C.A.O.(International Civil Aviation Organization) announced the exclusive copyrights of M.I.G., a Greek airline company, over the name "Macedonian Airlines".
Andreas Vgenopoulos, the heir of M.I.G. company, said that his company now holds the exclusive rights of the name "Macedonian Airlines" and M.I.G is the only authorized airline company who can use the term "Macedonian Airlines" worldwide. Thus, Andreas Vgenopoulos via M.I.G. has the legal right to demand from any other countries or companies to renounce the use of the name "Macedonian Airlines" for their airlines brand names if he wants so. Countries including FYROM can be forced to renounce any use of the name Macedonian Airlines if M.I.G send a request for this to I.C.A.O.
MIG΄s head Andreas Vgenopoulos said Thursday that Olympic Air may relaunch in the near future Macedonian Airlines.
Speaking after Olympic Air΄s inaugural flight in Thessaloniki, Vgenopoulos mentioned that Olympic Air holds the exclusive international rights to the Macedonian Airlines brand name.
The company will be up-and-running in the coming two or three months while its first routes will include Germany and Amsterdam.
Macedonian Airlines was created in 1992 as the charter subsidiary of the Greek national airline, Olympic Airways.
Until 2003, Macedonian΄s fleet was also used on OA scheduled services.
On December 12, 2003, due to the mounting problems of the Olympic Airways Group, a restructuring plan was formed. Macedonian Airlines was separated from the Group, renamed Olympic Airlines and took over all the data and flight operations of Olympic Airways.
Greece awaits for FYROM's reaction to the new events. FYROM uses the name Macedonian Airlines, however, without having the copyrights, for its national airlines branch based on Skopje, FYROM. The recognition of the international copyrights by ICAO to Vgenopoulos' M.I.G. is estimated to create anger within FYROM.
