Eurocypria high on award

EUROCYPRIA has won the distinction of being one of the top three performing charter airlines in Europe, the company announced yesterday.

According to a statement from Eurocypria, a subsidiary of national flag carrier Cyprus Airways, the honour followed another last year.

"Eurocypria got the third place in a list of European chartered flights, with the least flight delays at nine major UK airports," the announcement said, adding the airline had moved up from fourth place the previous year.

The company said the list of winners was drawn up by the Airline Companies Customer Council, an organisation set up by Britain’s Civil Aviation Authority 27 years ago to ensure passenger interests and welfare.

Eurocypria flies to 33 destinations in eight European countries.

The Cyprus Mail is the only English-language daily newspaper published in Cyprus. It was established in 1945 and today, with its popular and widely-read website, the Cyprus Mail is among the most trusted news sites in Cyprus. The newspaper is not affiliated with any political parties and has always striven to maintain its independence. Over the past 70-plus years, the Cyprus Mail, with a small dedicated team, has covered momentous events in Cyprus’ modern history, chronicling the last gasps of British colonial rule, Cyprus’ truncated independence, the coup and Turkish invasion, and the decades of negotiations to stitch the divided island back together, plus a myriad of scandals, murders, and human interests stories that capture the island and its -people. Observers describe it as politically conservative.
