The restoration of the Mouzenidis Travel brand vis-a-vis our associates, our customers and our staff, and the restoration of the solvency that has always characterized this name, is a primary concern of all of us.
In order to be able to continue our struggle and focus on what we must do and with goals and program to restart a smooth operation, we must immediately stop serving our customers, adjust the way we operate and start the process of consolidation of the business. The fact that this year, in the summer of 2021, the markets in which we are active by 90% and mainly the Russian market, continues to apply restrictive measures, not releasing all commercial flights from and to Russia. Aiming at our repayment and settlement of all our debts and being exclusively alone in this fight, unfortunately we have no other choice. We will keep our promise to our late President, exhausting all efforts to settle our obligations, while soon our business will address all creditors with a repayment schedule.
Finally, we would like to note that the other companies of the Mouzenidis group and the network abroad operate normally, continuing their work uninterruptedly, while despite the difficult time, they aim at the strengthening of the Group “.
