12°C (54°F)EASYJET has increased its connections to and from Cyprus with the launch of a new flight from Paphos to Edinburgh yesterday, which is set to fly twice weekly.
With the addition of the new connection to Edinburgh – set to fly twice weekly – the airline aims to increase the number of new destinations with direct flights, in their Cyprus network.
“Cyprus constitutes an important section of our European network, with great potential to grow. This is confirmed by the company’s journey so far in Cyprus,” said Stefanos Vakirtzis, regional airport operations manager for easyJet.
The new flight will run on Wednesdays and Saturdays with fares starting at €38 one-way.
The airline, which is one of the biggest in Europe and famous for its cheap tickets, began to meet the needs of passengers in Cyprus in 2008, with four routes from Paphos to London Gatwick, Luton, Manchester, Bristol and one from Larnaca to London Gatwick. Since then there has been a steady increase in passenger movement to and from Cyprus each year. Between October 2009 and September 2010, Easyjet flew more than 480,000 passengers to and from both Larnaca and Paphos airport.
