A new airline called “Cycladic” will begin flying small planes between Greek Islands this October connecting island groups and smaller islands that would only previously have been via ferry. The airline is being marketed as “affordable luxury” as the company promises ticket prices will average around 200 euros for a single journey. The emergence of an airline like this shows the evolution of Greek tourism and the opportunity for us to reduce transport times for our The Greek Specialist customers who are doing island hopping holidays between these islands. Initially Cycladic will only fly between certain islands in the Cyclades as well as Rhodes and Crete. These Cyclades Islands are Santorini, Mykonos, Paros and Syros with Milos being added in the summer months. The airline will fly from Chania and Heraklion on Crete. The company has stated that a number of other destinations will be added in the coming winter months, and it has a flexible plan that can accommodate adding more destinations should the demand become great enough. The small planes in question are Cessna Grand Caravans which hold 8-12 passengers at a time. Each customer will be able to carry 23kg of luggage. They will be based in Paros. As mentioned earlier these flights will drastically cut down on transport time between islands. The company promises that the flight time between Santorini and Milos will be 20 mins. Comparing this with the ferry between the two which takes between 3 hours and 5 hours. This means that customers who want to get to their destination quicker and are willing to pay a bit more will be able to say massive amounts of time on their journey. Whilst they may be the size of some private jets they will operate normally through the airports and have their own codes, check in and ground handling. We look forward to being able to offer this to you, our customers to make your dream holiday even better.
