CY puts on extra flights

CYPRUS Airways has announced it is putting on extra flights to meet the increased summer demand.
The national carrier will add 90 extra flights between August 11 and September 1, after an increase in demand for flights to and from the island.
The carrier flew 33,000 passengers to and from Cyprus between August 10-13 alone, and has averaged about 8,000 passengers a day so far this month.
A spokesman for the airline said the majority of Cyprus Airways passengers were destined for Greece — the most popular holiday destination among Cypriots.
A rush on flights is also anticipated next month, when many Cypriot students leave the island for studies abroad.

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.
