George Mavrocostas COO of Cyprus Airways said: “We are delighted to be part of the tourism recovery in Cyprus and we look forward to welcoming many Maltese passengers with us on the route to Cyprus. Our two island nations are brought together by EU membership, a common Mediterranean culture and the need for efficient air services that help to support the economy. We look forward to being of service to Cyprus and Cypriot travellers as the tourism recovery gets underway with the EU’s digital COVID certificate designed to allow citizens to travel safely."
