Airways Announcement Nicosia 9 January 2015 Dear Passengers, Following the adverse
decision of the European Commission for Competition, issued today, on the application
of the Republic of Cyprus of a Restructuring Plan for Cyprus Airways (Public)
Ltd submitted in October 2013, the Board of Directors of
Cyprus Airways has decided to initiate the procedure for voluntary
liquidation and to that effect all necessary measures will be taken. In the context of the above
decision all operations of the company will be suspended as of the close of
business today. Cyprus Airways would like to
warmly thank the millions of passengers who flew with the airline over the
years, for their choice and support. Special thanks are also expressed
to the staff of the airline as well as its associates, whose professionalism
and dedication were always at the service of the passengers. We are extremely honoured to have made a valuable contribution, over the
last 68 years, to the development of the economy of Cyprus and its tourism
industry in particular. We have flown the flag of our country worldwide with
pride. The government of Cyprus announced that it has decided to offer
alternative arrangements to all passengers who have Cyprus Airways tickets.
The cost of all alternative arrangements will be undertaken by the
Republic. The affected passengers of Cyprus Airways, who have arranged their travel
with departure days up to and until 9/2/2015, can immediately contact the
travel agency Top Kinisis Travel Public at the national telephone number
77787878, or if they are calling from overseas at the telephone
number +357 22869999, in order to arrange for the issuance of a new
flight ticket. For the remaining passengers, with departure date
from 10/2/2015 and onwards, a new announcement will be made in the
coming days. Additional information will be given for the arrangements that are made
and/or other useful information for the passengers, on the website of the
travel agency www.topkinisis.com. Thank you. |
