Direct air connections between Cyprus and India are possible, Deputy Minister of Tourism, Costas Koumis said Wednesday.
He added the key prerequisite is the timely delivery of ordered aircraft to airlines currently in talks with the ministry.
He revealed ongoing discussions for direct flights with China and the USA, noting that airlines would only establish routes with guaranteed profitability or strong profit indicators.
Regarding Cyprus’s tourist season, Koumis highlighted October 2024’s integration into the peak months, calling it “the best October of all time”. The season has also expanded into November and March.
Comparing tourism’s economic impact, Koumis noted the sector contributed over 19% to Greece’s economy in 2023, while Cyprus recorded 12.9%, with projections of 13.5% for 2024.
