Plan for Cycladic’s scheduled flights to islands this summer remains grounded

Plan for Cycladic’s scheduled flights to islands this summer remains grounded

The project to provide scheduled flights between the Cyclades and the Dodecanese islands has all but collapsed.

Cycladic planned to connect six Cycladic islands, along with Rhodes and Crete, for this summer, but it will have to limit its activity to charter flights.

Last October the company submitted to the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) a request to obtain slot times. To date it has not received a response – it is not known why – neither from the Hellenic Slot Coordinator Authority nor from the Hellenic Civil Aviation Authority that was officially launched in January 2022.

Up to March 24, Cycladic operated scheduled flights using the AOC of private jet carrier ifly. The company has to obtain slot times in order to provide scheduled flights during the summer.
