The milestone highlights Cyprus’ growing appeal as a destination and reflects the resilience of its tourism sector. Hermes emphasized that from the outset, the company has been executing a well-structured and focused strategy to boost the island’s connectivity. This approach has resulted in an impressive expansion of air links, with new airlines being attracted, an enhanced destination network, and a substantial surge in passenger traffic.
“Cyprus’ air connectivity has not only improved but has solidified itself at a highly competitive and robust level,” Hermes said.
The operator further committed to continuing its efforts to strengthen the island’s connectivity, focusing on increasing tourist arrivals while also ensuring that Cyprus residents have a broad range of travel options.
