Air fares have rocketed following the closure of Cobalt, with the Cyprus- Greece Business Association saying that tickets to Greece now cost more than €300.
“Ticket prices have not only not stabilised — as government officials had promised — but in contrast they have shot up,” the association said. Tickets from Cyprus to Greece now exceed €300 on average, it added.
