Aegean Airlines has relaunched its direct flight service between Paphos, Cyprus, and Athens, Greece, after an absence of several years. The first flight of the resumed service landed in Athens at 6:31 am local time on Friday. The route will be operated three times a week, significantly strengthening passengers' access to both Aegean Airlines' domestic and international network. This also facilitates connections with key tourism markets, including Germany and other Northern European countries.
