Austrian Airlines announced it will be building its summer flight program around the island and Greece. Presenting their flight schedule for the summer in Vienna on Thursday, Austrian Airlines said it is anticipating increased demand for holiday travel, focusing on tourist destinations in Greece and Cyprus. The airline also hopes to add destinations in Italy, Spain, and Turkey. Presenting its flight schedule, the airline said it would be flying up to 16 times a week to Larnaca and 10 times to Crete. Flights to the Greek islands of Ko, Mikonos and Rhodes are also on the agenda, as are packages to Mallorca, Ibiza and the Canary Islands. The airline hopes to squeeze in around 150 flights to tourist destinations during the peak summer season when COVID-19 vaccinated tourists are expected to travel. Austrian Airlines CCO Michael Trestl said: “We are expecting increased demand in the tourism sector in summer and are therefore increasing our offer to vacation destinations by up to 20% from July”.<br/>
