Cyprus will be presenting an initiative aimed to push for solutions on air connectivity during Thursday’s Transport, Telecommunications and Energy Council in Brussels, according to a statement made by Minister of Transport, Communications and Works, Yiannis Karousos upon his arrival to the meeting.

Karousos noted that connectivity is crucial for the EU and pointed out that the pandemic has created many issues and significant problems in this sector.

“Passenger numbers are down by 68% in 2021 compared to 2019 and that is why we took the initiative and, together with seven other member states have submitted in June 2021 the Declaration for Air Connectivity” Karousos said.
