Eurocontrol forecasts strong growth in air traffic over the coming years.


Cypriots’ appetite for travel remains undiminished despite rising airfares. Ticket prices have already increased, but—for now, at least—people are not cutting back on trips abroad.

Travel industry representatives told Kathimerini that Cypriots are hunting for offers and planning ahead to secure reasonably priced tickets. However, airlines are expected to raise fares further as jet fuel prices continue to climb amid the prolonged energy crisis.

The first field to enter the commercial development phase, four years after its discovery.


Fifteen years after the first discovery of substantial hydrocarbon reserves in Cyprus’ exclusive economic zone, the Republic of Cyprus and Italian energy company Eni have taken their most significant step toward bringing the island into the ranks of energy-producing countries.

The agreements signed between the two sides mark nothing less than the final stage of putting the Kronos field’s development into motion. Industry figures, however, see the project’s importance as primarily geopolitical, rather than a source of substantial revenue for state coffers.

Nicosia is seeking help from Brussels as plans advance for a subsea, bidirectional natural gas pipeline between Turkey and the self-declared “turkish republic of northern cyprus.”

In a letter to senior European Commission officials, Foreign Minister Constantinos Kombos says work “appears to have begun.” He urges the EU to treat the matter “with the utmost seriousness” and tell Ankara to refrain from implementing the memorandum of understanding and halt all related activities, which further violate the sovereignty of an EU member state.

Inspired by nature, EU-funded researchers have developed a system that uses sunlight and water to produce green hydrogen, potentially opening a new route to producing and storing renewable energy locally.

Plants have been doing something remarkably sophisticated for hundreds of millions of years. By capturing sunlight, leaves convert its energy into chemical energy that can be stored and used later.

Inspired by this natural process, a team of European researchers has spent nearly four years developing a system that uses sunlight to split water, producing green hydrogen that can be stored and used later as an energy source.

CONGRATS to the Norway Tourist board which responded brilliantly to Donald Trump describing it as a “shithouse country,” at political rally in Michigan last Sunday.

This is an indelible stain on the country of Norway and those people that made such a disgraceful and embarrassing decision…. The Nobel peace prize has been forever discredited.”

The Visit Norway website carried pictures of its astonishing public conveniences – one was ranked among the 10 best public toilets in the world – under the headline “Norway makes shit houses great again.” It also said: “These toilets are worth a visit, both when you really have to go – and when you don’t.”
