According to a written statement by the Minister of Transport, Communications and Works, Mr. Yannis Karousos, "The Ministry of Transport, Communications and Works, together with the Deputy Ministry of Tourism and the airport operator Hermes Airports, continue our efforts for the recovery of air transport and the improvement of our country's air connectivity. The fact that the April 2022 passenger traffic is at 85% of the corresponding April 2019 passenger traffic sends optimistic signals regarding the country's air connectivity and the effort to fill the gap created by the Russian and Ukrainian markets. We have succeeded in improving air connectivity, opening up markets that until recently were closed and attracting companies that have established a base in Cyprus."
