Tourists and owners of property in Cyprus are set to benefit from cheaper air travel to the country, according to one airline.

Low-fare flight specialist easyJet is to cut 25 per cent off the ticket costs of many popular routes to sunny destinations.

Visitors to Cyprus will now enjoy this discount on flights to and from the island's Larnaca airport that depart between June 1st and September 30th.

The cheap flight deals are expected to be available until tomorrow night.

As one of Europe's largest low-budget airlines, easyJet currently operates 175 aircraft across 420 routes.

It claims to have carried more than 44 million passengers to destinations like Larnaca, Malaga and Istanbul over the past year.

Situated in the southern sector of Cyprus, Lanarca airport is currently undergoing an expansion programme to deal with increased visitor volumes.
