The figure constitutes an increase of 31.5 percent in passenger traffic compared to the same month in 2015, with the strongest traffic recorded in traveller volumes from Russia, Greece, UK, Israel, Switzerland and Ukraine.

Eleni Kaloyirou, CEO, Hermes Airports, noted, “The fact that this year’s rising course continues during the months of a non-peak season is very encouraging.

It seems that this trend will continue during the winter months also, proving that the goal of restraining the seasonality and promotion of Cyprus as a year-round destination is achievable.”
