Sky Express, Blue Air strike codeshare pact

Greek airline Sky Express and Romanian low-cost carrier Blue Air have signed a codeshare agreement to facilitate travel between Greece and Cyprus. Blue Air will offer its Cyprus-originating passengers the opportunity to travel to the Greek islands via Sky Express, while passengers in the opposite direction booking with Sky Express will be able to fly to Larnaca in Cyprus via Blue Air through Athens or Thessaloniki. Crete-based Sky Express has a series of routes connecting Greek islands to the mainland. The Cyprus flight market is heating up, as several new airlines have started operations recently, following the demise of national carrier Cyprus Airways some years ago. <br/>
