What has happened to all the airlines?

Sir,
I am writing to you in the hope this makes you realise the problem we are having getting to your lovely Island of Cyprus!

I have been trying to get flights from Birmingham INT to Larnaca for the beginning of April only to find the only company that flies out from Birmingham is Helios and because of this they can almost charge what they want. I have also tried Manchester, East Midlands, Bristol and several other airports to no avail.
What has happened to all the other airways?

We are in the process of buying an apartment on the eastern side of the island and visited three times last year without any problem. What has happened ?

Do you realise that the Easter Holiday is early this year? Kids off school from the March 27 2005 for two weeks. We can’t believe that half of Cyprus will not enjoy the benefits of holiday makers because we cannot get there!

Help! Can you advise us! How to wake up the airlines?

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.
