Cyprus Airways and Romanian carrier Blue Air have entered into a codeshare partnership.
From 3 December, Cyprus Airways’ customers will be able to fly from Larnaca to London Luton, Athens, Thessaloniki and Bucharest through a codeshare agreement with Blue Air.
The agreement will allow Cyprus Airways to sell tickets under its own flight code between Larnaca and the above Blue Air operated destinations.
Similarly, Blue Air will place its flight code on Cyprus Airways flights to Athens, Thessaloniki, Prague, Tel Aviv and Beirut. Other routes may be added in future.
With this code-share agreement, customers of the two airlines’ will have the possibility to use more travel options and optimised flight schedules.

“Additionally, our cooperation with Cyprus Airways will allow us to expand the travel options for our guests while keeping fares low at the highest quality standard,” he added.
