Aegean Airlines posted a €23.3 million ($32.4 million) loss in 2010 as it experienced a dramatic reduction in demand on its domestic network. The airline saw passenger numbers on Greek domestic routes plunge by 16% to 3.16 million. That effect could not be offset by 9% growth in international traffic, a market that is now almost the same size at 3.06 million travelers. Revenues dropped by 5% to €591 million.
