Atlasjet takes over CTA flights
30th June 2010
Holidaymakers are able to continue with packages holidays in Northern Cyprus after the area's national carrier was taken over.
Turkish carrier Atlasjet has taken over Cyprus Turkish Airlines flights after the airline ceased flying.
Many passengers would have been looking at their travel insurance to arrange to get back to the UK but they can now carry on and enjoy their break.
Akin Koc, managing director of Anatolian Sky Holidays which is based in Solihull, West Midlands: "We got all our holidaymakers safely back to the UK over the weekend and flights are continuing with Atlasjet."
Mr Koc, whose company operates to Egypt and Turkey as well as Northern Cyprus, said flights were continuing between Manchester and Stansted and the Northern Cyprus capital of Nicosia, while Nicosia-bound flights from Birmingham were now going to Larnaca in southern Cyprus.
