Cyprus Airways had its busiest month of the past five years last August, with its total number of passengers rising 71% compared with the same month last year.

As the national flag carrier announced, it transported 79,804 passengers in total (46,800 in August 2022) on 572 scheduled flights (321 August last year), achieving a load factor of 81%. In a significant comparison with August 2019, which serves as a key benchmark prior to the pandemic, Cyprus Airways registered a substantial 37% growth in passenger volume on its scheduled services and operated 27% more flights.

Christos Limnatitis, Chief Commercial Officer of Cyprus Airways, said he was satisfied with the results, stating, "August 2023 stands out as our busiest month in the last five years, during which we successfully served nearly 80,000 passengers. With this performance and our preliminary figures for September, we are on track to carry over 500,000 passengers by the end of this year”.

“It is truly rewarding to witness our achievements in just over a year, during which we have expanded our network to 19 destinations, increased our weekly frequencies to 60 flights, doubled our aircraft fleet and increased our number of employees. We remain steadfast on our promise to sustain growth and build on the momentum we initiated last year. Our commitment to the island’s tourism industry is as strong as ever," added Paul Sies, CEO of the airline.

Cyprus Airways’ new A220 aircraft have been received very well by its passengers, who the airline said recognise the upgrade in the Economy product and the unique Business Class product.
