Cyprus Airways announced yesterday it has added Russian to the languages available to customers booking tickets on its website.

The addition was necessary in order to serve the rapidly growing Russian market, the company said.

Apart from Russian, Greek, and English, the airline’s online bookings also cater to German, Italian and French-speakers.

Cyprus Airways said it has created a reliable, secure, multilingual and multidimensional electronic services platform boasting fully automated sales, web check-in, real time flight information and many other useful services.

Confirming the airline’s online sales growth, a survey carried out by Evresis and ImarComms ranked the airline’s website as the top Cypriot online shop in sales for the first quarter of the year.
