Jazeera Airways and Cyprus Tourism 'Fall in love'

And sign an agreement to promote Cyprus in Kuwait and Dubai

Nicosia, Cyprus 09 May 2007 - Jazeera Airways, the Middle East's fastest growing airline, and the Cyprus Tourism Organization (CTO) announced today that they have entered into a first of a kind agreement to promote Cyprus in Kuwait and the Gulf.

The agreement, which was signed today by Jazeera Airways Chairman and CEO Marwan Boodai and CTO President Panos Englezos in a joint press conference in Nicosia, is the first agreement between an airline in the Middle East and a tourism organization in Europe.

Jazeera Airways, the Middle East's only private airline that is neither owned nor subsidized by any government, is the only airline that operates year-round scheduled flights between Kuwait and Cyprus.

Marwan Boodai said, "We will work with the CTO to achieve both our objectives, and together with the CTO we will continue to attract Kuwaiti tourists to fall in love with Cyprus all over again."

"Cyprus is a beautiful European island that is known for its caf culture, stunning beaches, and great people; you can't help but fall in love with it."

CTO President Panos Englezos said, " We are excited about our new partnership with Jazeera Airways, which will re-introduce Cyprus to tourists from Kuwait and Dubai and attract them to re-kindle their love for Cyprus."

In 2006, Jazeera Airways stimulated traffic to Alexandria by 194%, Damascus 65%, and Luxor by 65%. The increase in tourists has not only benefited airport businesses but also hotel and the tourism industry in these cities.

Bookings to the island took off when 18-month old Jazeera Airways started flights to Larnaca last month. With this new agreement with CTO, Jazeera Airways looks to achieve similar performance in Cyprus.
