| FLIGHTS FROM AUSTRALIA TO GREECE: |
Last year Olympic Airways decided to cease the flights to and from Australia. This created a very serious issue for the significant number of Hellenes traveling to and from Australia and Greece. SAE sent a number of letters and visited the Minister of Transportation, Mr. Christos Verelis. We are very pleased to see that the flights have started again on November 24, 2003 through Gulf Air.
