Next week, British Jet2 will resume flights from Britain to Cyprus, which had suspended its programme at the start of the coronavirus pandemic.
On 30 July the company had announced that it had "no choice" but to cancel travel to Cyprus until 17 August due to "prohibitive entry restrictions" to the country, referring to the obligation to negative diagnostic tests and complete documents required by visitors from Britain.
From next week Larnaca and Paphos will be served by Jet2 flights from Birmingham, East Midlands (Derby), Edinburgh, Glasgow, Leeds/Bradford, Stansted, London, Manchester and Newcastle airports.
The company has reported an increase in interest in Cyprus in recent weeks.
Jet2 managing director Steve Hippie said: "We are delighted to resume our flights and holiday schedule in Cyprus from 17 August and looking at the demand it is very clear how much our customers are looking forward to the holidays they deserve in the Cypriot sunshine."
Mr Hippie added that there is a wide selection of flights and holiday packages to Cyprus from Jet2's eight UK bases, as well as "fantastic" offers.
He acknowledged that this year's great uncertainty has created challenges, but assured Jet2 customers that great attention has been paid to the preparation of the company's holiday packages.
