Just before the end of 2020, which has challenged humanity due to a world pandemic, the Cyprus Shipping Chamber (CSC) expressed its sincere gratitude to the hardworking seafarers who are keeping the world supplied with food, fuel, medical equipment and other vital goods through the symbolic initiative ‘Seafarers Deliver for Us, We Walk for Them’, held on December 31, 2020.
The Cyprus Shipping Chamber’s president and members of its board of directors made a symbolic 10 km walk, from the Old Limassol Port right along the seafront to the old Amathusia Area, as a tribute to seafarers across the world for their valuable contribution and to show their solidarity against the discrimination they are facing during the Covid-19 pandemic, despite being key workers at the front line.
Wizz Air Abu Dhabi, the newest national airline of the UAE, on December 29, 2020 confirmed that Athens will be its inaugural destination, with flights from Abu Dhabi International Airport starting on January 15. The airline is also to start flights from Abu Dhabi to Thessaloniki, starting on February 04.
