Aegean's first commercial flights were in May 1999 from Athens to Heraklion, Crete and Thessaloniki with two new wholly owned British Aerospace Avro RJ100.{{Cite web |title=Milestones |url=https://en.about.aegeanair.com/company/history/milestones/?f=2 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230904123116/https://en.about.aegeanair.com/company/history/milestones/?f=2 |archive-date=4 September 2023 |website=Aegean Airlines |publisher=en.aegeanair.com}} In December 1999, Aegean acquired Air Greece.{{Cite news |date=27 March 2007 |title=Directory: World Airlines |page=45 |work=Flight International}} Since 2005, the airline has been in partnership with Lufthansa. In March 2006, Aegean Airlines also entered into a co-operation agreement with TAP Air Portugal.

On 26 May 2009, the Aegean Airlines' membership application was approved by the Chief Executive Board of Star Alliance. Aegean joined the alliance on 30 June 2010.

In February 2010, initial shareholder discussions took place to consider co-operation between Aegean Airlines and Olympic Air fueling rumours of a possible merger.{{Cite web |date=11 February 2010 |title=Olympic Air and Aegean Air mulling cooperation |url=http://www.forexyard.com/en/news/Olympic-Air-and-Aegean-Air-mulling-cooperation-2010-02-11T094300Z |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110711020820/http://www.forexyard.com/en/news/Olympic-Air-and-Aegean-Air-mulling-cooperation-2010-02-11T094300Z |archive-date=11 July 2011}} On 22 February 2010, Olympic Air and Aegean Airlines announced that they agreed to a merger.{{Cite news |last=Georgiopoulo |first=George |date=22 February 2010 |title=UPDATE 3-Greek carriers Aegean, Olympic agree merger |work=Reuters |url=https://www.reuters.com/article/idUSLDE61L0TX20100222 |url-status=live |access-date=22 February 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100329042155/https://www.reuters.com/article/idUSLDE61L0TX20100222 |archive-date=29 March 2010}}{{Cite web |last=Staff |date=22 February 2010 |title=Aegean, Olympic Air Announce Merger |url=http://english.capital.gr/News.asp?id=912804 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100330184713/http://english.capital.gr/News.asp?id=912804 |archive-date=30 March 2010 |access-date=23 February 2010 |publisher=Capital.gr}}{{Cite web |last=Staff |date=22 February 2010 |title=Greek airlines agree merger: statement |url=https://www.rehlat.com.eg/en/airlines/greece/aegean-airlines-booking/ |access-date=23 February 2010 |publisher=AFG}}{{cbignore|bot=medic}} The newly merged airline was to carry the Olympic brand name and logo, after a transition period in which both airline brands would be used in parallel. The Aegean brand would cease to exist after the transition period.

Aegean joined Star Alliance at the end of June 2010. The intent was for the merged carrier to be a Star Alliance member, despite the fact that Olympic Air was forging ties with SkyTeam pre-merger.{{Cite web |last=Staff |date=23 February 2010 |title=Aegean Airlines and Olympic Air to merge |url=http://www.starallianceemployees.com/news_details+M5165fab0a01.html?&cHash=feec54f40f022fee4430f854f4aa99b0 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100824053945/http://www.starallianceemployees.com/news_details%2BM5165fab0a01.html?&cHash=feec54f40f022fee4430f854f4aa99b0 |archive-date=24 August 2010 |access-date=23 February 2010}} Star Alliance welcomed the proposed merger, releasing a statement stating "The integration teams from both sides will soon meet to assess the necessary steps, in order to guarantee a smooth transition of the merged Aegean Airlines and Olympic Air operations into the Star Alliance network".{{Cite web |last=Bruce |first=Michael |date=23 February 2010 |title=Greek merger |url=http://www.travelweekly.com.au/dirplus/images/travelweekly/TravelTodayPDF/23_02_2010.pdf |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100331063815/http://www.travelweekly.com.au/dirplus/images/travelweekly/TravelTodayPDF/23_02_2010.pdf |archive-date=31 March 2010 |access-date=29 May 2013 |publisher=travelweekly.com.au |page=3}}

On 26 January 2011, the European Commission blocked the merger between the two airlines, citing anti-competition concerns.{{Cite news |last=Staff |date=26 January 2011 |title=Olympic Air and Aegean merger is blocked by EU |work=BBC Online |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-12287902 |url-status=live |access-date=26 January 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110127094225/http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-12287902 |archive-date=27 January 2011}}{{Cite web |last=Torello |first=Alessandro |date=26 January 2011 |title=EU Blocks Greek Airlines' Merger |url=https://www.wsj.com/articles/SB10001424052748703293204576105633374286152 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110204222938/http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748703293204576105633374286152.html |archive-date=4 February 2011 |access-date=26 January 2011 |website=Wall Street Journal}}{{Cite news |last=Chee |first=Foo Yun |date=26 January 2011 |title=EU blocks Olympic/Aegean merger, says anti-competitive |work=Reuters |url=https://www.reuters.com/article/idUSBRQ01006920110126 |access-date=26 January 2011}} The commission stated that the merger would have created a "quasi-monopoly" in Greece's air transport market, with the combined airline controlling more than 90% of the Greek domestic air transport market.{{Cite web |last=Reals |first=Kerry |date=26 January 2011 |title=EC blocks Aegean/Olympic merger on monopoly grounds |url=http://www.flightglobal.com/articles/2011/01/26/352352/ec-blocks-aegeanolympic-merger-on-monopoly-grounds.html |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110129225056/http://www.flightglobal.com/articles/2011/01/26/352352/ec-blocks-aegeanolympic-merger-on-monopoly-grounds.html |archive-date=29 January 2011 |access-date=26 January 2011 |website=Flight International}} The EC further stated its belief that the merger would lead to higher fares for four of the six million Greek and European passengers flying to and from Athens each year, with no realistic prospects that a new airline of sufficient size would enter the market to restrain the merged airline's pricing. Additionally, commissioner Joaquin Almunia stated that the merger would have led to higher prices and lower quality of service for Greeks and tourists traveling between Athens and the islands. Both carriers offered remedies in an attempt to ease concerns, though the EU believed that they would not be enough to protect travelers adequately and ease competition concerns. One of the remedies offered by the airlines included ceding takeoff and landing slots at Greek airports, though the commission noted that Greek airports do not suffer from the congestion observed at other European airports in previous airline mergers or alliances.

On 21 October 2012, Aegean Airlines announced that it had struck a deal to acquire Olympic Air, pending approval by the European Commission. On 23 April 2013, the European Commission issued a press release announcing it was starting an in-depth investigation into the proposed acquisition of Olympic Air by Aegean Airlines[http://europa.eu/rapid/press-release_IP-13-361_en.htm EUROPA - PRESS RELEASES - Press Release - Mergers: Commission opens in-depth investigation into proposed acquisition of Olympic Air by Aegean Airlines]. Europa.eu. Retrieved on 20 August 2013. and announcing that the Commission will have decided by 3 September 2013. On 13 August 2013, it was published in the Greek media that the final decision had been delayed until 16 October 2013.{{Cite web |date=13 August 2013 |title=Competition Commission puts off Olympic-Aegean merger decision until 16 Oct |url=http://www.ekathimerini.com/4dcgi/_w_articles_wsite2_1_13/08/2013_514003 |access-date=17 January 2014 |publisher=ekathimerini.com}} The merger was approved by the European Commission on 9 October 2013, stating that "due to the on-going Greek crisis and given Olympic's own very difficult financial situation, Olympic would be forced to leave the market soon in any event".

On 1 February 2014, Aegean Airlines took over every non-Public Service Obligation route that was previously operated by Olympic Air.{{Cite web |title=Aegean Airlines Accelerates Olympic Air Network Realignment to Feb 2014 |url=http://airlineroute.net/2013/12/18/a3oa-feb14/ |access-date=3 June 2015}}

It was one of the two airlines that first expressed interest, together with Spanish regional airline Air Nostrum.{{Cite web |last=Capital.gr |title=Ποια είναι η Croatia Airlines που επιδιώκει να εξαγοράσει η Aegean |url=https://www.capital.gr/epixeiriseis/3401824/poia-einai-i-croatia-airlines-pou-epidiokei-na-exagorasei-i-aegean/ |access-date=2024-06-20 |website=Capital.gr |language=el}} However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Croatian government decided to not go forward with the sale.{{Cite web |date=2021-03-02 |title=Croatia Airlines privatisation "unlikely before 2023" |url=https://www.exyuaviation.com/2021/03/croatia-airlines-privatisation-unlikely.html |access-date=2024-06-20 |website=EX-YU Aviation News}}

In its history, the airline has so far made two strategic moves concerning its fleet. The first was meant to withdraw all turboprop planes from the fleet, which was accomplished in May 2004. In December 2005, the carrier placed an order for eight Airbus A320s.

In August 2010, Aegean Airlines became the first airline to commit to upgrading its Airbus A320 family fleet with the FANS-B+ datalink system offered by Airbus.{{Cite web |date=16 August 2010 |title=Aegean commits to FANS-B+ upgrade for A320s |url=http://atwonline.com/aircraft-engines-components/news/aegean-commits-fans-b-upgrade-a320s-0812 |access-date=29 May 2013 |publisher=ATW Online}} By March 2014, passenger cabins across the entire fleet were retrofitted with brand-new reclining Aviointeriors Columbus Two seats, which are thinner and lighter, allowing the addition of an extra row.{{Cite web |title=Aviointeriors S.p.A. - AVIOINTERIORS DELIVERS THE FIRST THREE A321 SHIPSETS OF COLUMBUS TWO TO AEGEAN AIRLINES |url=http://www.aviointeriors.it/news-press/item/315-aviointeriors-delivers-the-first-three-a321-shipsets-of-columbus-two-to-aegean-airlines |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150626131138/http://www.aviointeriors.it/news-press/item/315-aviointeriors-delivers-the-first-three-a321-shipsets-of-columbus-two-to-aegean-airlines |archive-date=26 June 2015 |access-date=3 June 2015}} In 2014, Aegean Airlines also completed the purchase of seven brand-new Airbus A320ceo (current engine option) aircraft to add to its fleet;{{Cite web |date=27 August 2014 |title=AEGEAN upgrades and expands its fleet. 7 brand-new Airbus Α320 to be added in its existing fleet in 2015-16 |url=http://en.aegeanair.com/all-about-us/press-office/press-releases/press-release/?prid=489 |access-date=19 March 2015}}{{Cite web |date=28 August 2014 |title=Aegean Airlines adds two additional aircraft to its previous A320ceo order |url=http://www.airbus.com/presscentre/pressreleases/press-release-detail/detail/aegean-airlines-adds-two-additional-aircraft-to-its-previous-a320ceo-order/ |access-date=19 March 2015 |website=airbus.com |publisher=Airbus}} all deliveries were completed by early 2016.{{Cite news |last=Hofmann |first=Kurt |date=25 March 2016 |title=Aegean Airlines takes final A320ceo, invests in training |publisher=Air Transport World |url=http://atwonline.com/training/aegean-airlines-takes-final-a320ceo-invests-training |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160325204824/http://atwonline.com/training/aegean-airlines-takes-final-a320ceo-invests-training |archive-date=25 March 2016}}

The original Aegean Airlines livery is mostly "Eurowhite", featuring a thin red line towards the lower part of the fuselage. Above it, the fuselage is white and features the airline's name, written in dark blue using trademarked font series. Below the red line, the fuselage is painted grey. The Aegean Airlines logo featuring two seagulls flying in front of the sun, is featured on the tail of the aircraft.

During the A320neo delivery presentation, Aegean Airlines unveiled the new logo and livery inspired by Greek sky and seas, historical architecture and the country's design heritage. The new logo consisted of 2 seagulls in different sizes formed into a bigger seagull in the balanced and harmonical symmetry, representing the true spirit of Greece and the airline's values. The new livery follows the Greek identity, features a combination of the white and blue colors that representing traditional and modern Greek culture.{{Cite web |title=Welcome to AEGEAN's neo era {{!}} Aegean Airlines |url=https://en.aegeanair.com/discover/neo-era/}}

In addition to the standard livery, Aegean Airlines uses non-standard liveries, such as for advertising Star Alliance and the Greek National Tourism Organization "Visit Greece" campaign.
