Our latest Raising the Aviation Bar podcast episode catches up with Dr Marina Ioannou Hasapi from Cyprus’s Ministry of Transport, Communication and Works for a timely look at what Cyprus aims to achieve for European aviation during their Presidency of the Council of the European Union.

Aviation is vital to the Cypriot economy as over 95% of visitors arrive by air, and air traffic continues to grow, making connectivity and competitive air transport essential. Dr Hasapi shares insights into Cyprus’s plans for international cooperation, including the importance of working with international partners to address shared challenges such as GNSS interference, and how the new direct Larnaca–Brussels connection directly supports the work of the presidency. A trailblazer for women in Cyprus’s public sector, she also reflects on her career mediating labour disputes and offers advice to the next generation seeking leadership roles in aviation.
