The two companies are already in close collaboration since the appointment of TAL as the airline’s General Sales Agent in key European markets just under a year ago, aiming at the development and expansion of passenger traffic on the carrier’s services.

TAL Aviation teams in Switzerland and Czech Republic have been promoting passenger sales on the routes launched in their markets since last year. 

“Our association with TAL Aviation so far has proven to be fruitful and productive. Through this new appointment, we look forward to expanding this collaboration in the all-important Israeli Market for our mutual benefits.  With up to 11 weekly flights on the Tel Aviv - Larnaca route, the support of TAL Aviation is of paramount importance in ensuring that the best interests of the traveling public are served”, stated Natalia Popova, Chief Commercial Officer of Cyprus Airways.

Says Nissim Sagis, Chief Commercial Officer of TAL Aviation "We are very pleased to be continuing to expand our cooperation with Cyprus Airways, which further validates the trust between our organizations. During this year, we are looking forward to significantly expanding the over half million passengers who flew between Tel Aviv and Cyprus during 2018, while further developing business in other European markets".

Cyprus Airways provides two fare categories: Basic and Flex, with Flex offering additional services such as a 10kg cabin bag, 23kg checked-in baggage, seat selection, etc., which allow customers to tailor their flights according to their needs.

This new appointment comes as part of a number of strategic moves the airline has made recently. From codeshares to new agreements with specialized service providers, facilitating customer travel plans. All, as part of Cyprus Airways’ long-term goal in enhancing the overall traffic movements between the two countries.
