Cyprus Airways, the flag carrier of Cyprus, has unveiled its strategic move to establish a Direct Sales Agent in India, aimed at enhancing accessibility and convenience for travellers from the subcontinent. This development underscores the airline’s commitment to providing seamless travel experiences and fostering tourism growth in Cyprus.
Cyprus Airways tickets are now readily available for purchase in India through their appointed Direct Sales Agent, Girisons Airways Pvt Ltd., situated in Mumbai and managed by Vivek Jain. This strategic collaboration not only enhances accessibility for Indian travellers but also fortifies Cyprus Airways’ presence in the global aviation landscape, promising a seamless and enjoyable travel experience for all passengers.
Having attained the International Air Transport Association (IATA) Operational Safety Audit (IOSA) certification in 2018, Cyprus Airways solidifies its reputation for operational excellence and passenger safety.
Driven by its long-term goal to serve as a catalyst for tourism expansion in Cyprus, the airline continues to offer a diverse array of travel options for both local and international passengers. Operating out of the Larnaca International Airport, Cyprus Airways boasts a dedicated team of over 150 professionals, ensuring exceptional service aboard its Airbus fleet, comprising A320 and A220 aircraft, equipped with both Economy and Business Class seating options.
In its summer 2024 schedule, Cyprus Airways extends its reach to various European destinations from Larnaca, including Rome, Milan, Zurich, Paris, Barcelona, Brussels, Prague, Athens, and an array of Greek islands. Additionally, the airline has recently initiated thrice-weekly flights to Dubai.
Indian travellers are now presented with the opportunity to seamlessly incorporate Cyprus into their European travel itineraries, with the option of spending 2 to 3 days in the country. This add-on programme offers flexibility, enabling travellers to purchase a return ticket from Cyprus, thus optimising their journey across multiple European cities. For instance, travellers can conveniently opt for routes like Rome-Cyprus-Paris, thereby economising both time and expenses on the Rome to Paris leg of their journey.
