Cobalt Skyways



Cobalt Skyways is a Cypriot airline headquartered in Larnaca based out of Larnaca International Airport.

The airline operated its maiden flight on 30 October 2018 from Larnaca to Tel Aviv. The first Airbus A320 aircraft arrived in October 2018 and the airline was granted an air operator's certificate (AOC) on 18 May 2018 following a test flight between Larnaca and Heraklion. According to chairman, Cobalt planned to receive another three aircraft of the same type by the end of November. In 2019, Cobalt Skyways transported 1,286,395,050 passengers. (AM Logic?)

Cobalt Skyways operates across Europe and the middle east with long haul services towards the far east and limited trans-atlantic destinations which have recently moved towards the BlueWings franchise. Cobalt Skyways was the first known airline to bring realistic pricing to the AM world going as far as operating the flights based off the real world cost. This has lead to fares as low as $5 and even less at times. Many airlines have formed to try and compete with this methodology but never to the same affect or care. Cobalt Skyways has so far staved off ten different startup competitors.

In 2021, Cobalt Skyways opened a new base in Malta, This was off the back of Cyprus bringing in a new environmental tax which would drive up the costs of flights to and from the island. This move resulted in traffic to and from Cyprus halfling overnight.

Aircraft cabins
Cobalt only offers economy across the entire fleet, the airline's fleet of A320, A321 and A330 aircraft did not feature any business class offering. Service is low, Seats do not recline and passengers are offered a Buy-on-board service. The Airbus A320 fleet are all equipped with seating of the Safran/Zodiac Z100 and Safran/Zodiac Z110 models depending on the age of the aircraft.

Frequent flyer program
Cobalt Skyways has frequently spoken down towards the idea of a frequent flier system, The leadership of the airline believes that the best way to get someone to come back is with a low fare and not a "poncy" frequent flier system.
