Hermes Airports: Positive Messages from CONNECT 2026 for Cyprus Connectivity

Hermes Airports announced positive messages for the air connectivity of Cyprus following its participation in the CONNECT Forum 2026 in Lublin. The company's air development team held meetings with 20 airlines with the aim of strengthening the connectivity of Larnaca and Paphos airports and developing new routes. Advance bookings for the summer season appear very positive for key markets such as England, Poland, and the Scandinavian countries, while positive indications are also recorded from new markets such as Spain and Italy. Hermes Airports notes that targeted promotional activities for Cyprus contribute to strengthening demand. Positive indications are also recorded for the next winter season, with airlines expressing interest in expanding existing programs or year-round operation at Cypriot airports. Hermes Airports emphasizes that the incentives it offers, combined with the efforts of tourism bodies, have contributed to creating a positive image of Cyprus. The company recognizes the need for further steps in shaping a year-round tourism product and intensifying the promotion of the country, in order to further improve air connectivity.
