An aircraft of the German airline TUI was christened on Sunday & nbsp; by the Speaker of Parliament, who named it” Larnaca “.
In a ceremony held today at Larnaca airport, Parliament Speaker Annita Dimitriou expressed “honor for the presence of everyone at Larnaca airport and it is with great pleasure that we participate in the current naming of the TUI plane named Larnaca”. TUI has been present in the market and in Cyprus for more than 50 years and the long-term relations with the market of our tourism product improve and strengthen the competitiveness worldwide “.
At the same time, he expressed satisfaction for this event and added that “it is a big step especially today with all these challenges that we are called to manage, the pandemic, the invasion, the war and all these wider challenges. To wish a good trip to the ethers of the “Larnaca” aircraft, he said and noted that “such initiatives really enhance tourism, enhance competitiveness and give prestige and the place that deserves in our Cyprus.”
On his part, the Minister of Transport, Communications and Works Giannis Karousos said that “TUI is and will be a valuable partner of the Cypriot aviation and tourism sector. “It is an honor for us to name a TUI Group aircraft in 'Larnaca', which is a special honor for the city of Larnaca, because there are many benefits to this action.”
He added that “this move is also a recognition of the Tui Group for the Government of Cyprus and the great importance attached to the relationship we have. Air traffic has gone through very difficult times over the years, especially with the coronavirus pandemic and now with the war in Ukraine, and we believe that TUI will play an important role in replacing the number of tourists who will be lost from the markets of Russia and Ukraine “.
As Mr. Karousos said” we are very optimistic about the replacement of tourist arrivals that we will lose and we work very closely with Hermes, & nbsp; the Ministry of Tourism and airlines in order to create and maintain incentive plans, while there will be more in the future. “
Fritz Joussen, CEO of TUI Group stated that “the Boeing 737-8 Larnaca is an ambassador of Cyprus and TUI throughout Europe. “After two years of pandemics, people want to travel and that will benefit the countries of southern Europe, which have been particularly hard hit by travel restrictions during the pandemic.”
He added that “things are improving for hotels, family businesses and for many partners who work with us, so as to provide a good holiday to visitors. TUI is the strategic partner for countries in Southern Europe, including Cyprus, where we have been for decades, with our successful consortium “.
According to Fritz Joussen” in 2022, we want to bring more visitors to island, especially from the United Kingdom and Germany, compared to previous years, thus contributing significantly to the success of tourism in Cyprus “.
Besides, Eleni Kalogirou, Chief Executive Officer of Hermes Airports & nbsp; expressed “honor for the fact that a long-term partner like TUI chose to name one of its aircraft after the city of Larnaca. “This shows the strong relations between TUI and Cyprus, thus showing the trust for this destination”, he said.
After the greetings, the Speaker of Parliament, the Minister of Transport, the CEO of TUI Group and Hermes Airports Chief Executive Officer cut the traditional cake.
The Boeing 737-8 aircraft of TUI fly immediately after its landing passed under a water arch formed by two vehicles of the Fire Service of Larnaca airport and the disembarkation of the passengers followed.
Then the Speaker of the Parliament together with the CEO of TUI Group, the Chief Executive Officer of Hermes Airports and the other guests climbed the stairs and reached the door of the aircraft where next to it was the name of “Larnaca”.
Annita Dimitriou, under the watchful eye of the pilot of the aircraft, sprinkled with water taken from the Larnaca saltworks and christened the aircraft.
It is noted that a TUI Group press release states that “Cyprus and TUI are connected by a long-term cooperation of 50 years and brings to the island & nbsp; about 500 thousand visitors a year from 11 European markets. The Group operates 19 privately owned hotels, of which 14 in Larnaca and 5 in Paphos, while its strategic partner is the leading Cypriot hotel chain Atlantica “.
” 7 hotels are also part of the Group's portfolio TUI Blue while last year the Robinson Cyprus club opened. In total, TUI offers more than 330 hotels in Cyprus and has close collaborations with local hoteliers, while the island still has great potential for development and plays an increasingly important role in the travel plans of the Germans. “
It is also noted that “from April direct TUI fly flights will take off again from Hannover, Düsseldorf and Frankfurt to Larnaca. In total, all TUI Group airlines will offer more than 3,300 flights to and from Cyprus in the summer of 2022 with the largest offer from the United Kingdom and Germany, while additional flights with partner airlines are available from Leipzig, Cologne, Stuttgart, Munich and Berlin “.
