CYPRUS Airways have scheduled an extra 50 flights to accommodate the increase in demand during the Easter holidays.
Specifically, the state airline has decided to provide an extra 20 flights to and from Athens (from April 18 until May 3), 20 flights to and from Thessaloniki (from April 19 until May 4), two extra flights to and from Iraklion, four flights to and from Corfu and four flights from Tel-Aviv.
In total, there will be more than 8,000 extra seats over the Easter period, while demand is already very high.
Students are expected to use up the lion’s share of seats, returning over the holidays to spend time with their families.
“The Cyprus Airways Commercial Department evaluates the data and demands on a daily basis and if it is needed, there could be even more flights,” an announcement read yesterday.
