Cyprus Airways, the national flag carrier brand of Cyprus, continues to increase the number of flights from Larnaca with the launch of its new direct flights between Larnaca and Malta, enhancing Mediterranean interconnectivity.

A delegation of 65 politicians and journalists joined President Anastasiades on board a Cyprus Airways plane on April 26, as it departed for Geneva, and the airline returned the group on April 29, following the conclusion of the talks.

Cyprus Airways will be unveiling a new look schedule that includes new destinations as well as new Mediterranean interconnectivity.

Steve Heapy, CEO, Jet2.com and Jet2holidays, commented, “We have taken time to study the global travel taskforce’s framework, and we are extremely disappointed at the lack of clarity and detail. After several weeks exploring how to restart international travel, with substantial assistance and input from the industry, the framework lacks any rigorous detail about how to get international travel going again. In fact, the framework is virtually the same as six months ago.”

Ryanair, on March 31 launched its biggest ever summer schedule in Cyprus, with 34 routes in total, including five new routes to Bari, Bologna, Corfu, Rhodes (operating from July) and Venice Treviso (operating from June), which will help boost Cyprus’s air traffic and tourism as vaccination programmes continue and Europe re-opens in time for the summer holiday season.

Cyprus Airways announced that it has updated its policy for basic fare tickets issued after February 12 of this year.
