Fight for Cyprus’ growing air travel market
Some 9.3m travellers are expected to use the airports at Larnaca and Paphos this year, a 3.6% increase on 2016, which had in turn been a record-breaking year. Last year saw an 18% increase, translating to 1.37m passengers using the airports, an 18% rise in comparison to 2015. Aegean, Thomson Airways and EasyJet led the pack when it came to market shares while, according to airport managing company Hermes Airports, 38% of the passengers chose longer-established airlines. The two airports serve a large number and companies from 40 countries, facilitating over 140 routes to and from 115 destinations. However, Hermes Airport figures reveal that just 3 major markets cover 67% of the air traffic–the UK, Russia and Greece. Israel and Germany, meanwhile, are gaining an increasing large share. <br/>
