The flight schedule will be finalised at the end of February, in order to have a clearer picture of the response to the pandemic and the progress of vaccination.
On the occasion of this positive development, the Mayor of Kythera made the following statement: «I would like to thank the management of AEGEAN for accepting our long-standing request for a direct air connection between Kythera and the State Airport of Thessaloniki ‘Macedonia’. As it is known, the presence of Kythera at the Thessaloniki International Tourism Fair PHILOXENIA for more than 20 years has made our island well-known and popular throughout Northern Greece, a fact that we wish to capitalize especially during the upcoming summer season, in order to stimulate as much as possible the economy of our island, which, like the rest of Chora, has been affected by the coronavirus. Let's hope that the developments in the pandemic continue to improve so that AEGEAN will soon announce the routes, which especially this year are combined with the 50th anniversary of the operation of the Kythera State Airport ‘Alexandros Aristotelous Onassis’.».
