Aegean Returns To Paphos, Strengthening Air Connectivity And Tourism Links

Aegean Airlines has resumed flights to and from Paphos International Airport, a move welcomed by the Paphos Regional Tourism Board (Etap) as a boost to the district’s connectivity and tourism sector.

Improving Access To Paphos And Beyond

In a statement issued on Monday, Etap said the airline’s return marks an important step in improving access to Paphos from Greece while strengthening international connections through Aegean’s hub in Athens.

The Athens–Paphos route will operate three times a week, offering residents and visitors greater travel flexibility and expanding access to the district.

Athens Hub Strengthens International Links

According to the tourism board, the restored service will improve connections with key tourism markets, including Germany, the Scandinavian countries and other European destinations served through Athens.

Improved air connectivity is expected to strengthen Paphos’ appeal by making the region more accessible to international travellers and enhancing its competitiveness among Mediterranean destinations.

Call For Deeper Partnership

Etap described Aegean’s return as a positive development for the local tourism industry and expressed hope that the airline will continue expanding its presence at Paphos International Airport.

“The Paphos Regional Tourism Board warmly welcomes Aegean to Paphos and expresses the hope that, in the near future, the airline will further expand its presence at Paphos International Airport, strengthening the connectivity and prospects of the region,” the board said.

The organisation also said it and its member stakeholders are ready to work with the airline on joint initiatives to support the airline’s long-term growth in Paphos.

Women Accounted For More Than Half Of Scientists In 10 EU Regions

In Portugal’s Continente region, 265,100 women worked as scientists and engineers in 2025, representing 46% of the total workforce in these occupations.

Across the EU, women made up more than half of all scientists and engineers in 10 regions. Four were located in Spain, two in Portugal and one in Greece. The remaining regions were Poland’s Makroregion centralny, Sweden’s northernmost region and France’s outermost regions.

Most of these areas had relatively small numbers of scientists and engineers overall. Spain’s Noreste region was the largest, with 102,700 women in these occupations, accounting for 51% of its total workforce.

Women’s Representation Varies Across Europe

The figures highlight considerable regional differences in both the number of women working in science and engineering and their share of the overall workforce.

Cyprus remains below the EU average, with women accounting for 37.8% of scientists and engineers. However, this share is broadly comparable to that of Île-de-France, one of Europe’s largest centres of scientific and engineering employment.
