New Paphos to Prague flights launched

THE NEW airline route connecting Paphos and Prague was launched yesterday at  Paphos International Airport, with the arrival of 131 passengers of a Czech Airlines flight.

The new route, which will have flights once a week every Friday, is perceived as a crucial step for boosting the touristic development of the city of Paphos and the province. Paphos Deputy Mayor, Makis Roussis said that this will especially be true for the winter period.

The route will run until January 2, 2012 and will resume in the summer season, from March 8.

Paphos airport has seen a number of flights cancelled by various airlines over the past year. Local authorities are particularly incensed over the fact that Cyprus Airways would be flying no aircraft out of the coastal town over the winter period. 

 

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.
