Aegean brings new opportunities for Paphos travelers

Aegean Airlines resumed flights to and from Paphos International Airport last week, with the Paphos regional tourism board (Etap) welcoming the airline’s return as a major boost for the district’s air connectivity and tourism prospects.

In a statement on Monday, the board said the first flight marked an important step in improving Paphos’ accessibility, both from Greece and through wider international connections available via Athens.

According to Etap Paphos, the Athens to Paphos route will operate three times a week, providing additional travel options for both residents and visitors.

The board further explained that the renewed service will also strengthen Paphos’ links with key tourism source markets through Aegean’s Athens hub, including Germany, the Scandinavian countries and other European destinations.

Moreover, Etap said the airline’s return to Paphos International Airport represents a positive development for the district’s tourism industry, as it expands available air travel options while enhancing the destination’s competitiveness.

The board added that improved connectivity is expected to further support Paphos’ position as a quality tourism destination and contribute to the continued development of the local visitor economy.

“The Paphos regional tourism board warmly welcomes Aegean to Paphos and expresses the hope that, in the near future, the airline will further expand its presence at Paphos International Airport, strengthening the connectivity and prospects of the region,” the board said.

It also stated that Etap and its member stakeholders are prepared to work closely with the airline to support its long-term growth in the district.

“The Paphos regional tourism board and the stakeholders that comprise it stand ready to implement joint actions with Aegean, with the aim of supporting the airline’s growth and establishment at Paphos International Airport,” the board said.
