2000- GALAXY AIRWAYS expands its fleet with two more BOEING 737-400, (in total the fleet consists of 3 aircraft). Its flights' network expands as well, between two smaller cities of Greece, Kavala and Preveza and four German cities Nuremberg, Berlin, Stuttgart, Düsseldorf. These cities are connecting for the first time with scheduled flights.
2001- New shareholders came in the company and the founder walked out from the company's management. Since then management was performed by the new shareholders.
