The path of connectivity to Cyprus
A communication in the works with airlines setting a proper base for air routes growth
The announcement that Ryanair opening in Paphos it's 50th base with 14 routes, is a symptom that coordination at the highest government level is coming to fruition. A process led by the Hermes Airports and the ministry of Communication and Works is pushing ahead with it's plan to structure and consolidate access to Olso, Stockholm, Rome, Milan and London. Strategically resolving issues of access, Ryanair leads with the way on proposing alternatives to beat the recession offering a great vote of confidence in the potential of both the airports in Cyprus and potential regional development.
Today’s announcement by Ryanair will multiply by ten fold commitment in incoming capacity with 600,000 passengers per annum and sustain over 600 jobs. Over 80 flights will operate weekly as Ryanair invests over $140 million at Paphos Airport, as was quoted the Deputy Chief Executive Michael Cawley and confirmed by Managing directors at Hermes Airports this morning.
