Low-cost carrier Wizz Air marked Cyprus National Day on 1 April with a flash sale offering a 20 percent discount on flights departing the island between 8 April and 21 June 2026. The promotion applies to dozens of European city-pairs including Larnaca–Milan, Paphos–London and the newly launched Larnaca–Kutaisi service. While essentially a marketing move, the sale provides budget-friendly options for SMEs scrambling to replace cancelled flights in the wake of regional unrest. Travel managers booking spring project kick-offs may find round-trips pricing under €60—levels not seen since early 2025. Wizz Air confirmed to Cyprus Mail that the discount is genuine, not an April-Fools gimmick. Seats must be booked by midnight 3 April, and the offer excludes ancillary fees such as cabin-bag upgrades and seat selection. Analysts note that aggressive price promotions are one way airlines are trying to shore up load factors on Cypriot routes hit by war-related demand shifts. Rival Ryanair is rumoured to be planning a similar sale around Greek Orthodox Easter later in the month.
