Upset and angry over Paphos flight cancellations

I am compelled to write a letter regarding flights via Stansted/Paphos/Larnaca being discontinued.

I am upset and angry, as many fellow travellers must be to hear that all flights are now departing from Heathrow.

I sympathise that the airline is in economic trouble. But taking this service out makes no sense. I use this service at least 4-5 times a year, and not once has this flight been empty, in fact it is sometimes hard to get flights booked, due to popularity.

They are letting down fellow Cypriots, tourists and ex pats that use this terminal so much.

Heathrow is not a easy place to get to, for many in and around our area. Why not take one of the flights from Heathrow off, and just have one a day, and then continue with the flights from Stansted. They are going to lose many customers, which will not help the airline.

I am already looking for flights via British Airways. I hope that someone from Cyprus Airways will read this letter, and come to some better arrangements for ours, and their, future.

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.
