Low-cost carrier Ryanair has set its sights on daily flights from Italy and Germany to Cyprus , possibly as early as October, the Cyprus Tourism Organisation (CT) has revealed.
According to CTO chairman Photis Photiou, the company is in the first stages of implementing flights from Italy and the second stage in relation to Germany .
He said the operation of Ryanair to Cyprus would be a huge boost for tourism, particularly from Germany , which is a strong market for Cyprus , the second largest after the UK . Italy is also a growing market, with 20,000 Italians visiting Cyprus each year, and the additional Ryanair flights could bring that number up to 50,000, Photiou said, adding that this would be aided by the fact Ryanair was a low-cost carrier.
