Cyprus and China to further liberalise flights between the two counties

Cyprus and China are set to sign a bilateral agreement providing for the further liberalisation of flights and strengthening air connectivity between the two countries.

According to a press release issued by the Ministry of Transport, the two countries will on 26 September sign a Memorandum of Understanding and a bilateral agreement providing for the further liberalisation of flights between the two countries.

The MoU and the agreement will be signed by Han Jun, Deputy Administrator of the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) and Panagiota Demetriou, Director of the Cypriot Civil Aviation Department, following an authorisation by the Council of Ministers.

“This is a very important agreement which aspires to further improve the air connectivity between the two counties, providing an opportunity to increase the number of travellers both for recreation and business activities,” the Ministry said, adding that “the agreement will contribute to the improvement of flight connectivity and commercial transactions between the countries in the Far East and with Europe as well.”

The signing ceremony will take place at the Civil Aviation Department premises in Nicosia at noon local time.

Cyprus Beer Exports Slide 24.2% In June 2025 Amid Market Shifts

Industry Overview And Key Figures

Data from the Statistical Service, Cyprus (Cystat), reveals a significant decline in beer exports from local factories in June 2025. Exports dropped to 245,087 litres, representing a 24.2% decrease from 323,278 litres recorded in June 2024. In contrast, domestic consumption experienced a modest increase of 1.5%, reaching 4,601,840 litres. These trends contributed to an overall slight contraction in total beer deliveries, which fell by 0.2% year on year to 4,846,927 litres.

Comparative Analysis With The Previous Month

May 2025 presented a markedly different scenario. During that month, beer exports surged by 83.9% to 381,641 litres, while domestic consumption fell by 8% to 4,115,967 litres. The net effect was a 4% year-over-year decrease in total deliveries, with figures amounting to 4,497,608 litres in May 2025. This stark contrast underscores a volatile market dynamic that warrants close attention from industry stakeholders.

Market Implications And Future Outlook

The data highlights a shift in market trends, with significant fluctuations in export performance juxtaposed against stable domestic consumption. Such variance suggests that external market conditions or changes in export strategies might be influencing factors. For investors and industry analysts, this divergence provides critical insights into the evolving landscape of Cyprus’ beer production and distribution sectors.
