Cheap Flight News

Posted on August 21, 2008 by bmshomes

Easyjet have taken over GB Airways for £103.5m and will now start flying from Cyprus late 2008. GB Airways will still operate the Cypriot route until Easyjet take over and re-brand the flights to their own name.

This comes as welcome news as more budget airlines open routes to the island, including Monarch airways, already flying from the UK, which will spark price competition and increased flight times, driving down ticket prices.

The airline’s interest comes as a response to the Cypriot government’s plans to increase its tourism industry from 3m visitors to 10m visitors over the next 10 years following significant EU funding to re-develop infrastructure and grow the island’s GDP.
