Cyprus Airways is all set to commence a new route between Larnaca, Cyprus and Dubai, United Arab Emirates starting March 2023. The airline claims that the thrice weekly route will increase accessibility of Cyprus to destinations in the Middle Eastern and beyond via the popular tourist destination, and significant hub airport, of Dubai.
Paul Sies, Chief Executive Officer, Cyprus Airways, said: “Opening up flights to Dubai was high on our agenda and we have been working very hard to secure rights and slots to operate such services. The United Arab Emirates is another important gateway we are adding to our ever-increasing network. This important addition is in-line with our commitment and plans to better serve the local communities, businesses and open up new tourism opportunities to Cyprus.”
The carrier currently operates a fleet of Airbus A320ceo aircraft with plans to increase the fleet by two additional aircraft this year. The goal is to replace the existing fleet with newer Airbus A320neo aircraft.
