The agreement, effective from September, will offer more travel opportunities to Cyprus Airways passengers as they can continue their journey from Athens or Thessaloniki to other destinations in Greece or the Greek islands.

Passengers who fly with Cyprus Airways flights to Athens or Thessaloniki can now continue their journey to 29 airports in Greece and Greek islands with Sky Express flights.

“We consider our partnership with Sky Express a landmark for Cyprus Airways’ strategy to diversify our services with the aim of offering our passengers more travel opportunities,” said Natalia Popova, chief commercial officer of Cyprus Airways.

“What makes this collaboration important is the fact that we successfully connect Cyprus with 29 more airports in Greece and the Greek Islands through Athens and Thessaloniki with a single, convenient one-stop-shop experience,” she added.

Commercial Manager of Sky Express said: “The new interline agreement with Cyprus Airways is a key factor to continued aviation growth to maximize passenger benefits and our expanded route network.

It is also of paramount importance not only for the Greek economy but also for its contribution to sustainable tourism development. For this reason, Sky Express has incorporated Interline Agreements into its strategic objectives, from its first day of operations”.
