Pafos airport has already recorded a significant increase in air traffic since mid-March, with the officials of the managing company of Cypriot airports pointing out that from April this increase will be much greater, predicting a summer of very significant flight traffic for Paphos.
The increase in traffic comes as a continuation of the satisfactory winter activity of the second airport of the Republic, when a total of 115 flights per week landed in Paphos from 40 airports of various European cities, continuing the huge growth recorded by Pafos airport over the last three years.
The flagship of the ongoing increased flight schedule from Paphos continues to be the giant of economy flights, Ryanair, which since the beginning of March has strengthened its program to and from Paphos with flights from airports in Poland, Austria, France, the United Kingdom and the Baltic countries, while in the near future there will be daily flights to and from Athens.
Particularly encouraging, the provincial authorities note, is the fact that Pafos remains connected all year round with major airports in the United Kingdom, Germany, Austria, Poland and other European countries, while there is a need for further enhancement of flights from airports in Germany and the Scandinavian countries.
The continuous increase in connectivity is of exceptional and strategic importance for Paphos and Cyprus in general, according to Paphos district officials, since the enhanced programs are expected to give a significant boost to the economy and further development of the various segments of tourism aiming at the full recovery of the industry.
