The new schedule will include 24 Paphos routes in total, five of them new summer routes operating twice weekly to Berlin-Tegel, Bournemouth, Kyiv and Liverpool. A Mykonos flight will operate three times a week.

At Larnaca airport, a new twice weekly flight to Brussels Zaventem, will also be launched.

An announcement by the airline said that continued growth in Cyprus has put Ryanair at the number one position for market share in Cyprus. Next winter the airline will deliver a total of 1,2 million customers annually at Larnaca and Paphos airports, a 30 percent increase year-on-year.

According to Ryanair, the move will create 825 onsite jobs per year in Paphos and 60 onsite jobs in Larnaca.
