Cypriot carrier Cobalt Air ramps up Manchester Airport services

Cobalt Air has unveiled plans to increase its presence at Manchester Airport this summer.

The Cypriot airline said it will boost the number of flights its operates between Manchester and Larnaca with a third-weekly service to the port city.

The carrier also confirmed it will now offer year-round flights to the resort for North West holidaymakers.

Andrew Madar, chief exec of Cobalt Air, said: “Cobalt is committed to serving the Manchester-Larnaca route year round.

“Our commitment to Manchester is evident from our increase in frequency from twice to three times per week which will be available year round.”

Manchester Airport’s commercial director, Stephen Turner, welcome the announcement.

He said: “It’s great news that Cobalt Air has chosen to increase the frequency of their flights to Larnaca and also offer year round services.

“Cyprus continues to be a hugely popular destination for the 22m passengers in our catchment area.”
