Cobalt, the Cypriot airline, has collapsed overnight. Tens of thousands of passengers are waking up to find that their tickets for future travel to and from Cyprus and Greece are worthless.
The airline told the Cyprus Ministry of Transport at 9pm on Wednesday night that it would shut down shortly after midnight on Thursday.
In a statement Cobalt announced that it was cancelling all Flights as of 23:50pm on October 17, 2018 due to indefinite suspension of Cobalt’s operations. As a result, future flights or services provided by Cobalt will be cancelled and will no longer operate.
Passengers who have un-flown tickets were instructed not to go to Larnaca Airport or any departure airport as no Cobalt flights will operate and no Cobalt staff will be present.
The airline announced that for refunds, one had to contact your credit card provider or Travel Agent.
We sincerely apologise once again and would like to thank our very loyal customers for their support over the last two years of Cobalt operations.
Cypriot Transport Minister Vasiliki Anastasiadou has pledged state support for all those stranded either in Cyprus or overseas by the collapse of Cobalt Air, as the airline expressed great regret for the suspension of its operations, saying it was a “sad day” for employees and passengers alike.
