Paphos Mayor Savvas Vergas has called on Paphos residents to boycott Cyprus Airways. This statement results after the airliner scrapped almost two thirds of its flights to the local airport. According to Famagusta Gazette reports, Vergas called people to stop flying with Cyprus Airways planes.
He announced that he has convened a meeting of the co-ordinating committe of parties and organisations in Paphos to discuss the issue. Cyprus Airways has announced that it will no longer fly from Paphos to Athens, Stansted, Birmignham and Manchester and Frankfurt in Germany. Cyprus Airways President George Mavrokostas regretted the statements made by the Mayor of Paphos. He added that the curtailment of flights from Paphos airport had been decided within the context of measures to avert an economic collapse of the national carrier because of lack of funds within the next few months.
