Greece: Airmail labels

I just got these labels from Greece. The thing is I have been told that airmail labels are no longer used in Greece, now I'm not so sure. Maybe someone can help out? Maybe they are leftovers from when they were in print?

They look like the ones listed in the airmail labels catalogue from 1987.

Year: 1987?, Gummed.

Denmark: Prioritaire A and Economique B, NEW!

Today I was at the post office to get some stamps and more labels.
To my surprise the labels I got had a new design! And they had just come out.

Year: 2011, Self-adhesive.















Year: 2011, Self-adhesive.














The labels are smaller in size and have a darker color. These also have a new font and and the labels have a shiny surface. The B on the green labels have also changed side.

I got these labels on a sheet of 18. Getting labels on a sheet is also a new thing, the older labels never came on sheets, but always on pads or rolls.
