From the end of October, SKY express also connects Thessaloniki with Cyprus, with a direct route to Larnaca, which will run with the state-of-the-art “green” Airbus A320neo.
From October 31, the company will connect Thessaloniki International Airport “Macedonia” with Larnaca International Airport four times a week.
The route expands the options of the passenger public while creating new opportunities for interaction between the two popular destinations.
Thus, in addition to the existing domestic network (Heraklion, Mytilene, Chios, Samos) and, of course, the daily flights to Athens from the airport of Thessaloniki, the passenger public of the city has at its disposal the direct connection with Larnaca for work, studies or tourism.
“Starting from Cyprus, SKY express is expanding its international flight program in Thessaloniki, an investment that is expected to be strengthened with new destinations, launching a new era of connectivity and further development. At the same time, it further upgrades the position of the historic city and Macedonia as a whole as a strategic hub of its network “, the company points out in an announcement.
As Mr. Vassilis Krasanakis, Director of Pricing Policy and Network of SKY express emphasizes in a statement: “After the naming of My Thessaloniki in one of our new, modern aircraft and the opening of our lounge in July, we are taking another big step from here, Thessaloniki, this time to start international flights. Our first destination is Cyprus. A symbolic but also substantial move that proves our practical interest in the developmental prospects of the city. By connecting two extroverted, prosperous areas with the newest and greenest fleet in the country, we provide more options to our passengers and create multiplier beneficial synergies in Northern Greece and Cyprus “.
SKY express passengers at “Macedonia” Airport can also enjoy the exclusive lounge recently inaugurated by the company. Finally, travelers to and from Thessaloniki have the option of choosing fares between SKY joy, SKY joy + and SKY enjoy.
