ATHENS (Reuters) - Greece's largest carrier Aegean Airlines said on Thursday it has raised its stake in Romanian Animawings to 51% from 25%, strengthening its presence in the Romanian market.

The Greek company said its total investment for the 51% stake amounted to 1.3 million euros ($2.06 million).

Aegean, a member of the Star Alliance airline group, acquired its existing stake in Animawings, a member of tour operator Memento Christian Tour, in early 2020.
