“The UK is looking to include Cyprus on a list of countries to be announced next week from where travellers will have unrestricted access to the country, while head of the hotels association Pasyxe said the UK’s decision to lift quarantine restrictions is “important” for Cyprus”. This from the Cyprus Mail Saturday afternoon. It’s understandable, as the UK is a primary source of tourists for the Cyprus Republic, probably followed by Russia and Scandinavia.
The reciprocal aspect would obviously benefit us. Once air traffic is well established all planes from the UK that land will clearly return. At the moment Wizz Air is probably the only airline regularly flying between Larnaca and London, and they fly to Luton not Heathrow.
British Airways purports to be doing so as of July, but many complaints from expats in the North that every flight they have booked for July or August has then been cancelled. The purchasers have been given credit, of course, but are then locked in to British Airways or they lose their money. Some have had several BA flights cancelled. Despite what is hard not to regard as duplicitous greed, BA remains our first choice. A) They fly to Heathrow and not one of the less convenient airports, and B) Their flyer points scheme is more useful than most and we have made use of it.
