We are confident this new route will further strengthen the tourism, commercial and trade ties between the United Arab Emirates and Cyprus, whilst providing our customers with a great value-for-money option to travel between both countries. “As the proud bearer of the Cypriot flag, we aim to offer a seamless travel experience for both Cypriots and international visitors by offering strong regional connectivity throughout the East Mediterranean. We thank Dubai Airports for their warm welcome.” Majed Al Joker said, “We are delighted to welcome TUS Airways, Cyprus’ largest airline, to the growing list of airlines operating flights to and from Dubai International (DXB).
