Claims circulated online that the Prime Minister’s daughter, Sophia Mitsotakis, returned to Greece from Dubai on a private jet as part of a repatriation of Greeks from the Middle East due to the war in Iran are false.

According to an analysis by Hellenic Hoaxes, the allegation began on March 5, 2026, with a report by the Voice News website, which cited “eyewitnesses” and claimed that Kyriakos Mitsotakis was demanding his daughter’s return by private jet. The next day, the site “Karditsa to the Extreme” reproduced the claim, adding that the trip cost Greek taxpayers 50,000 euros.

Sofia Mitsotaki responded publicly via Instagram, posting her boarding pass and clarifying that she traveled on March 6, 2026 on a scheduled Aegean charter flight from Muscat, Oman to Athens on a repatriation flight. At the same time, she also issued a letter of apology against the alleged editor-in-chief of the website that published the allegation.

Hellenic Hoaxes contacted her and obtained additional evidence of the trip, including personal photos from inside the Aegean flight and boarding passes of her fellow passengers. These items are a perfect match.

At the same time, the existence of this flight is confirmed by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which announced that on March 6, 2026, 46 Greek citizens were repatriated from Oman on a special Aegean Airlines flight. The details of the flight were also found in the Flightradar24 database, which records a departure from Muscat airport to Athens on the same day and time.

The ensuing controversy on social media was based on responses from artificial intelligence tools, which misinterpreted data from the boarding pass. As Greek Hoaxes points out, tools such as ChatGPT or Gemini are not information verification tools, as large linguistic models generate responses based on probabilities and not necessarily reality, which can lead to so-called “hallucinations”, i.e. making up inaccurate information.

In conclusion, according to the research, the boarding pass published by Sofia Mitsotakis is authentic and corresponds to the Aegean repatriation flight from Muscat to Athens, refuting claims of a private jet.
