Cyprus Airways wants compensation for airspace ban

NICOSIA, Jan 22 (Reuters) - Cyprus' national carrier, Cyprus Airways, said it wants to be compensated for damages caused by Turkey prohibiting Greek Cypriot planes from flying in its airspace.
"We have taken steps and asked the finance minister to take Cyprus Airways's request to the EU so that our losses can be compensated," Cyprus Airways spokesperson Kyriacos Kyriacou told Reuters.
It is not immediately clear how much compensation Cyprus Airways' is seeking to claim.
The Turkish ban dates back to 1974, when Turkey invaded Cyprus in response to a brief Greek-inspired coup.
Cyprus Airways said it estimated the state-controlled airline was raking in losses of 6 million euros a year as a result of the ban. That figure was the result of a survey that considered all of the airline's route networks, fuel consumption, flight hours and staff costs.
"On a number of the routes that we operate it takes us longer to reach our destination and costs more because we have to take alternative flight routes due to this situation," Kyriacou said.
Meanwhile, Cyprus Airways' Chairman, Kikis Lazarides, said the airline was mulling the possibility of introducing flights from emerging destinations, where demand is increasing, such as central Europe, Russia and the Ukraine.

You are not forced to use those (illegal) flights. You can use Paphos or Larnaca airports.

Then if you are using another (by choice) airport .... what is there to compensate?

( Maybe you should pursue "compensation" for using an illegal airport.
We could do with another laugh, at your gaffs, in the EU )

Iceman,

Do you get any rebate by any chance when the plane makes a non stop "Midnight Express" flight after you have already pre paid the extra add on expense to cover for the intended stop over flight. If not, you should ask for some money back from the airline that serves the north.

I wouldn't land in Larnaka if the tickets were free. You can take you Larnaka and Baf, roll it in a cylindrical shape and I think you know what to do with it.

You see some things are worth paying more and we don't mind paying for it. So long as we don't have to suffer the consequences of coming face to face with your ugly, racist and hellenic customs personnel.

Hellim.
